The Filmmakers: Adam Kane
ADAM KANE (Director of Photography) thought he would follow in his father's footsteps as a composer -- until he enrolled in NYU film school. Fascinated with the visual aspects of storytelling, he abandoned all musical aspirations and became totally immersed in cinematography.
Since those days, Kane, 29, has never looked back: He has completed no less than ten independent feature films since finishing his graduate studies at The American Film Institute in Los Angeles, including "Bitter Harvest," "Hail, Caesar," "Million to Juan," "Last Gasp" and "Within the Rock," the latter two, of course, for producer Stanley Isaacs.
Isaacs' choice of the youthful cinematographer as Director of Photography on "Ravager" is a testament to the work her performed on the filmmaker's previous films. "Adam's young, yet he's willing to listen," Isaacs explains. "He's also immensely creative -- a guy whose sensitivity and input enhances the overall 'look' of a picture to an amazing degree. I think he's going to have an enormous career."
Kane, who is admittedly a fan of suspense dramas, modestly attributes the outcome of a picture -- any picture -- to its story, the characters in it, and the situation in which they find themselves enmeshed. "Without those elements, you can light and shoot 'til doomsday and you still won't have a good picture." |
