    DP Jonathan Furmanski–who’s repped for features, TV and commercials by Zero Gravity Management–returns behind the camera for season 3 of Search Party, on HBO Max June 25. The cult hit show created by Sarah-Violet Bliss, Charles Rogers and Michael Showalter, follows a group of self-absorbed friends who find themselves in ever-deeper water trying to find an acquaintance from college who’s disappeared.  With the third season bringing both a change in genre and distributor, Furmanski had to adapt the look of Search Party to suit. To do this, he needed to cleverly light a courtroom drama on the sixth floor of a working courthouse. His solution was to use LED blankets in the windows, dressed with mullions, transoms and curtains to replicate blown out windows. This gave him the freedom to maximize camera coverage and keep the courtroom drama tense….

    The list of directors with whom the 69-year-old has worked with more than once is extensive, including Wes Anderson,Yorgos Lanthimos,Paul Schrader,Lars von Trier and, now for a third time, Robert Eggers. "If it's good, you come back," Dafoe said plainly.

    The pair spoke about Eggers' adaptation of "Nosferatu" that hits theaters Wednesday, some of the challenges they faced making "The Lighthouse" — their first project together released in 2019 — and the unique relationship that exists between actors and directors.

    The interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.

    Q: Willem, I read that you called Robert after you saw "The Witch." What did you say?

    DAFOE: I want to meet you and I want to know who this filmmaker is.

    Q: What is it about him that keeps bringing you back?

    DAFOE: Well, if it's good, you come back. When I saw "The Witch," I thought, "Wow, this is a film about a period that I'm not particularly knowledgeable about, but I enter it so easily. This is relevant. It's rooted. It's my story. I'm with these people."

    That's quite an incredible trick because a lot of period films, they're always pointing to themselves. They're always sending messages. They're always showing. This had a kind of energy and the kind of physicality and sensuality that I thought, "Who does this? I gotta see this guy." And then I had a wonderful experience in "The Lighthouse" and I played a part that was really fun in "The Northman."
