Clubhouse Conversations: Jessica Lee Gagné — Severance (S2)
In this episode of Clubhouse Conversations, cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagné joins Adam Bricker, ASC to discuss Severance Season 2.
Gagné shot six of the season's 10 episodes, and also served as a producer, as well as the director of Episode 7, "Chikhai Bardo."
In this interview, Gagné discusses how her upbringing in Quebec’s video-rental stores, and her early passion for photography, helped shape her path to becoming a cinematographer.
She also discusses her initial hesitation to commit to Severance’s office-bound aesthetic, and how visual references from such photographers as Lars Tunbjörk and Lee Friedlander opened her eyes to its creative possibilities; the technical and artistic challenges of shooting the show’s signature hallway run; making the transition from cinematographer to director with a deeply personal flashback episode, which she shot on film and in her own home, and more.
