When she is working, she is intensely dedicated to the integrity of the image and its capacity to uphold the story and the work of all of the artists involved. She is passionate about everyone\u2019s role and takes her job of presenting that work with lighting, framing, and camera movement with a great sense of responsibility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Autumn brought her unique technical skillset and emotional point of view on the lighting, rich skin tones and density of the image, and a desire to expand our concept of what qualifies as EPIC characters and storytelling in American narratives. She would frame the wide shot that revealed Sammie\u2019s sleeping younger siblings with the same rigor and technical consideration that she would an epic hero reveal of the Smokestack twins. She would approach intimacy scenes with the same eye for detail as our action set pieces, but it would also be in communication with the actors that they would be cared for by the lighting and the framing. Even in moments of vulnerability, they knew Autumn had their back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Best of IndieWire<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sign up for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cloud.email.indiewire.com\/signup\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Indiewire's Newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Indiewire&#8217;s Newsletter<\/a>.
