What’s one film world you’d love (or hate) to live in?

The Making of Nickel Boys

ASC Spotlight Award winner Jomo Fray shares his journey and philosophy while guiding viewers behind the scenes of Nickel Boys.

#NickelBoys continues to earn accolades, including a Spotlight Award from the American Society of Cinematographers for director of photography Jomo Fray. In this video interview, Fray explains that he and director RaMell Ross "wanted to invite the audience into the body and the eyes of a Black boy during the Jim Crow South." This intimate invitation was achieved through careful framing, with the movie shot primarily from the first-person perspectives of its two lead characters, Elwood and Turner (portrayed by Ethan Herisse and Brandon Wilson, respectively).
