The American Society of Cinematographers is delighted to announce the beginning of our Online Master Class series, a three-day, web-based seminar with live interactions and Q&A with some of the world’s top working cinematographers.  Derived and adapted from our signature in-person Master Classes, the first online class will be held between Friday, Oct. 30, and Sunday, Nov. 1.
