Courtesy Everett Collection Cinematographer Adam Newport-Berra enjoys working with directors who also act in their films. This year alone, his work includes “The Invite” with director and actor Olivia Wilde, as well as teaming up with Jordan Firstman on A24’s “Club Kid,” in which Firstman directs and stars.
Newport-Berra (Variety’s 10 Artisans to Watch 2026) says, “I tend to enjoy working with actor-directors because we get this dynamic experience on set where they get to direct the film both from outside and from within during the scene, which I think is a special opportunity for a director to be able to be inside the scene, guiding it as it’s happening.”
