I have not seen this movie, I just wanted to point out that they met at AFI Conservatory. They where part of a crew that consisted of Kaminski, Fiore, Wally Pfister and Phedon Papamichel. They shot a lot together, working in everything from Corman productions to straight-to-video erotic thrillers.
Some people learn on the job, I guess. Check out some of the uneven early films Hoyte von Hoytema lensed in Norway, for instance
. Now he has shoot one of the absolutely most stunning films of 2011, TINKER TAYLOR SOLDIER SPY.
