203. Ben Enke - Cinematographer

um so We've made some feature films.

We know about Dark Cloud.

We know about Sanctified, Infernal Machine.

A lot of the people we've had on, Jeremy Wannick, one of them, Jay Ness, Andrew Hunt.

Yep.

So tell us, it's easy to make a film around these parts, huh? To become a DP and just work on them.

Yeah, so easy.

You make it look easy.

I see your IMDB and it's just like, oh, this, that, that, uh-huh, uh-huh.

Oh, my God.

Like, how have you been able to stay so consistent from Minnesota? Like, what's...

Yeah.

And I think,

um, you know, I, I, I love movies, uh, obviously the dirt, I think, you know, they're the one thing that I always gravitate towards the most, but, um, You know, more than anything, I'm just interested in interesting visuals and interesting ways to tell a story.

And it doesn't matter what kind of format that is, if it's documentaries or if it's music videos or if it's commercials.

That's all just interesting to me.

And so I try not to just do one thing or another thing.

And because this industry is so relationship-based, you tend to just meet a lot of different people who do a lot of different things.

And on a movie, you can meet someone who primarily produces commercials or you can post about some sort of thing on Instagram and someone else from a different world will find you.

And so it is.

It is fun to have different genres and different mediums to play in, for sure.

Movies are where it's at.

What's your favorite movie to watch? I'm going to sit back and separate myself from...
