Ava Berkofsky has made a name working in TV, specifically in establishing the look for HBO’s “Insecure.” The bold use of color and creating a lighting scheme that made dark skin tones an asset, not something that had to be “solved,” made the show a visual standout. In particular, Berkofsky makes the low and practical light of Los Angeles at night pop in way that is unusual the half-hour format.
With “Share,” the rising cinematographer demonstrates an ability to bring the same distinct style to low-budget independent filmmaking.
