Acclaimed British cinematographer Sir Roger Deakins, known for his work on films such as The Shawshank Redemption, Fargo, and Blade Runner 2049, opened up about his enduring nervousness on film sets during an interview with BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs. Despite a nearly 50-year career, Deakins confessed to feeling 'terrified' on new projects, attributing this to the unfamiliarity of new people and situations. He emphasized that this stress drives him to strive for excellence, stating, 'If you didn’t feel that stress and pressure, I don’t think you would be trying to do your best.' Deakins also discussed his method of operating cameras himself, which occasionally clashed with directors like Ridley Scott. Additionally, he shared personal reflections on his mother’s death from multiple sclerosis when he was nine, describing the trauma of her illness and eventual passing. He revealed that he wasn’t allowed to attend her funeral and threw himself into work after his father’s remarriage. The interview highlights Deakins’ dedication to his craft and the personal challenges that have shaped his career.

A serious blog post where I discuss how I Wish I Still Believed Everyone Could Change

on distractions, dread, and not doing much my latest read, journaling and migraine essentials I’m stuck. The events of the last two weeks have taken a sledgehammer to my carefully laid out writing goals. Try though I might not to get sucked into the spiral of bad news, bad thoughts, and bad dreams, I can’t help it. I’m in that weird place between needing to know and knowing that there’s not much I can do. It’s also been a week at work, so I’m feeling extra vulnerable. As an elder millennial, I’m definitely part of the generation that always feels on edge about the future.

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? 🌀 The Forgotten Middle I remember before. And I see what’s after. But the middle? The actual pandemic? It’s like a dream I can’t fully recall. I know I lived through it. I remember the panic-buying. The clapping. The charts. The "stay alert" messaging that made absolutely no sense.
