Dixon isn’t alone in the documentary, there were other women, Sil Lai Abrams and Sheri Sher, but Dixon is the anchor. Director of photographyabout conversations she had with the filmmakers and how she framed the story avoided the documentary having a clinical feel.
What conversations did you have with Drew Dixon and the directors Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering about how you were going to lens her? I started the project and they wanted it to look different from what they had done before and for it to be beautiful. One of the things we talked about was they do interviews in so many places and it starts to have a disparate look that feels jumpy.
We wanted to come up with a formula that was beautiful. Drew was so easy, she was not concerned with how she looked. She was completely unconcerned with my work and presence and that was the main thing.I talked to Amy about finding a way about finding a generous way of shooting her and the other women in a way that didn’t feel clinical. I didn’t use any gauze or diffusion on the lenses. I thought if I used the best tools I wouldn’t have to use any diffusion or green screen.
With Drew, we chose the background and I knew what she was wearing, but still, I wanted it to feel safe because what she’s talking about is so gnarly and difficult that I didn’t want the image to be that.It’s a special film. When I was shooting the interview with Drew, I thought “Everything makes sense. That moment in the film, your stomach really sinks.” I’m so proud to be associated with it.
