Frame and Reference Podcast·Hosted by Kenny McMillan·239 episodes
Frame & Reference is a conversation between Cinematographers hosted by Kenny McMillan. Each episode dives into the respective DP's current and past work, as well as what influences and inspires them. These discussions are an entertaining and informative look in to the world making films through the lens of the people who shoot them.
Why listen
Frame & Reference Podcast gives film and TV lovers a working cinematographer's view of how images are made. Host Kenny McMillan talks with DPs about recent projects, past work, influences, tools, and on-set choices, so listeners hear practical craft stories rather than surface-level promo chat. It is especially good for filmmakers, camera department people, film students, and anyone who watches credits wondering how a scene was actually shot.
