#003: The Road (less traveled) to Becoming a DP with Sean Patrick Kirby

Sean Patrick Kirby is a Director of Photography. 

We talk to Sean about becoming a DP, being based in Birmingham, Alabama, and working all over the country. From living in a van to shooting national commercials. Working up from PA to Grip and Electric, to DP. The LA vs. not LA conversation is more complicated than it used to be. Networking and picking the right projects. Transitioning from music to filmmaking. 

Taking the LSAT hungover. Ivan Drago. Shakespeare created during plagues. And again, love for video game commercials.
