Click on the link in the original thread and watch the trailer. I had never heard of him either but, it looks interesting. Imagine a movie set and director engaged just for an 8x10 shot.

What is interesting is that I actually work on movie sets with a large format camera; I may be the last one in the world doing this.
Actress Gelena Piper as an unnamed cotton picking field slave in the forthcoming indie film, "Doin' Time":
Crown Graphic / 210mm f/5.6 Fujinon lens / silver reflector for fill / Shanghai ISO 100 film / HC-110 / Epson scan / minimal Photoshop editing.
BTW, I used only two sheets of film - primary and backup.
More of my large format photography from the set of "Doin' Time" may be seen here: https://www.facebook.com/Terry.Thoma...0413908&type=3

That’s a wonderful image Terry. I think one of the things I find interesting about his photography is the theatre of the images and the imagined, on my part perhaps, theatre of the Crewdson crew just behind the camera. Massachusetts has become a little New York in terms of moviemaking and there have been times when I have been out with my camera in a scenic area and IN comes the trucks, the crew, miles of electrical cables, security, temporary barriers, lights that look like they could illuminate a baseball stadium, then the important people surrounded by other people (I understand Denzel Washington is filming in Massachusetts right now). At any rate, I can’t help thinking about all of this but of course there is also the image. I find his images to have a mesmerizing quality and would love to see an exhibit of the originals. I would like to see not just the technical quality but would love to see if the actors can give me a little more of a hint at what Gregory Crewdson was feeling for that particular image. All the best, John
