When scouting: Always shoot the reverse. Everyone wants
to see the opposite direction of the hero set/angle. They
need to know what can be achieved in any given space
both aesthetically and logistically. It's important to give
the creatives all the angles we can when scouting. Plans
change so frequently, you always need to know what you
can do in each location.
PM: What are your tools of the trade? What car or tech
gadget or tool can't you live without?
MF: My car always ends up being my office away from
home so I like to try and get a roomie rental. Without it, I'm
on the hunt for a cafe where I'm smushed between people
drinking overpriced lattes. My phone-charging brick, too.
While on set, we are so glued to our phones. I commonly
go through a fully charged phone with a charged battery
case and will end up needing a charge of both throughout
the day. My MacBook, Nikon DSLR and pocket notepad are
never far from my grasp either.
PM: What made you decide to join the LMGI?
MF: My friend, LMGI Board member Eric Klein, really
helped me, as well as a number of others out on the East
Coast, get involved with the LMGI.
