Cinematographer Bradford Young, ASC (Pawn Sacrifice, A Most Violent Year, Selma, Ain’t Them Bodies Saints), has been named the 2015 Kodak Cinematographer-in-Residence at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television (UCLA TFT).
This is the 16th year of the residency program, which is sponsored by the Eastman Kodak Company. Young joins a distinguished group of cinematographers who have received this honor in the past including John Bailey, ASC (American Gigolo, In the Line of Fire, As Good As It Gets); Dean Cundey, ASC (Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Jurassic Park, Apollo 13); Roger Deakins, BSC, ASC (No Country For Old Men, True Grit, Skyfall); Guillermo Navarro ASC, AMC (From Dusk Till Dawn, Pan’s Labyrinth, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2); and Dante Spinotti, ASC, AIC (Hercules, Tower Heist, Public Enemies).
The Kodak Cinematographer-in-Residence program began in 2000 to enhance the learning experience of students with insight from renowned cinematographers. UCLA TFT is the only film school that offers a cinematography residency program such as this, where students can receive direct guidance from cinematographers through screenings, workshops and one-on-one sessions over the course of 10 weeks.
The residency begins in December with small hands-on student workshops and continues for the remainder of the 2015-16 academic year.
