A conversation with Jay Holben

In this episode, I had the opportunity to talk with Director Jay Holben. In addition to directing, he’s a producer, former cinematographer and associate member of the ASC. He’s the co-chair of the ASC Motion imaging Technology Council and contributing technical editor for American cinematographer magazine. He is also an author, writing books like the Directors Guide to Everything and co-writing the Cine Lens Manual. We discuss the state of the industry, depression, the highs and lows of the industry, family life, working with toxic people, imposter syndrome, rejection and comparison.
