Lyn Moncrief on THE PASSENGER, VENGENCE, and the Film Adaptation of FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S

Hi! Thank you for listening to this episode of the FOLLOWING FILMS podcast. A movie podcast that takes you on a weekly journey into the world of cinema and the minds of the talented individuals who shape it. I'm your host, Chris Maynard, and today we are joined by Cinematographer Lyn Moncrief Lyn has been passionate about photography and the moving image from an early age. That passion led to him earn an M.F.A. in Cinematography from the American Film Institute, and since then he's compiled an eclectic body of work in narrative feature films. I sat down with Lyn to discuss his latest film “The Passenger”, directed by Carter Smith. The film is about a man who is forced to face his fears and confront his troubled past as his co-worker snaps and goes on a violent killing spree.  But before we dive into our conversation with Lyn, I'd like to take a moment to thank our sponsor, Bookmans. Bookmans is your go-to independent bookstore, where you can find an extensive selection of books, movies, music, and more. They truly believe in the power of storytelling and the magic of the cinematic arts. So, if you're looking to expand your film, music, or movie collection, be sure to visit your nearest Bookmans, there is always something truly wonderful to discover.

Oh, and while you’re there check out THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CHILDREN. Trust me, it would make a hell of a double feature, Blumhouse is quietly filling MGM+ with some pretty remarkable genre fare. If you’ve run through Shudder and Screambox, you might want to give them a peek. Oh, and MGM+ in no way sponsored this show, but if you’re listening, I’d be happy to shill on your behalf. Hit me up! Now, without further ado, here’s my conversation with Lyn about THE PASSENGER. Enjoy the show. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/followingfilms/support
