UPDATE: Erik won a 'Best Cinematography' Oscar for MANK since our conversation! Congratulations! It’s so exciting to sit down with Erik Messerschmidt, ASC - an Emmy-nominated cinematographer whose credits include the popular Netflix series MINDHUNTER, HBO’s RAISED BY WOLVES and David Fincher's latest Netflix film MANK! In today’s conversation, Erik and I discuss his beginnings in the film industry working as a gaffer (learning from the best cinematographers in the business); a deep dive into his cinematography for the two Emmy-nominated seasons of MINDHUNTER; Erik’s creative relationship with David Fincher, and the thought process behind the infamous “multiple takes” Fincher is so known for; how classic Hollywood noirs of the ‘30s and 40s influenced the visual style for MANK—all of this, and much more. Be sure to check out Erik's new film MANK (now on Netflix), which many speculate will land him his first Oscar nomination for Cinematography in just a few months.
