Severance Cinematography, with Jessica Lee Gagné

SEVERANCE is a mind-bending and visually stunning thriller and one of this year’s best series. Cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagné shares why she was hesitant to take on the show, and her incredible work throughout the season.

Jessica and Go Creative Show host, Ben Consoli, discuss her visual approach to the “innie” and “outie” worlds, making a bland stark-white office space visually interesting, psychological tricks with cinematography, working with Ben Stiller and Christopher Walken, and more!
