For all that filmmaking is a collaborative endeavor — and camera departments especially rely on each other — department heads don't often get the chance to compare notes about the difficult parts of the job and different practical/philosophical approaches that might help elevate the work.

DP Natasha Braier, who tries to teach as much as she can around her shooting schedule, doesn't think it has to be that way.

From the boisterous inventiveness of 'I Love Boosters' to the ruthless beauty of 'The Neon Demon' to the slippery fantasy of 'Honey Boy' (and even a brace of Ed Sheeran music videos)
