We welcome onto today's show Bella Gonzales, an accomplished director of photography whose remarkable work spans across several prestigious series.
Bella is known for her exceptional contributions to episodic series such as FX's
Fargo, Apple TV+'s The Big Door Prize, and Hulu's PEN15.
Her unique vision and technical prowess have made her a standout talent in the industry, and her recent projects are a testament to her skill and creativity.
On the show, Giles Alderson and Dom Lenoir chat with Bella about:
What lenses she uses, camera angles and working with different directors.
She talks about what light means to story and why should pick your battles in prep and on set.
We also dive into blocking, floor plans and not coming from a world of 'no'.
We talk Alien, the new TV show she has just finished working on and what is like being part of history and we dive deep into the making of Fargo.
For the new Apple TV+ series, Me, Bella was the sole director of photography for the pilot and all 10 episodes of this series, working closely with director Michael Dowse. Her role allowed her to set the show's visual tone, treating it with the care and precision of a feature film.
For Fargo Bella also previously worked on season 5 of Fargo, where she built on her previous contributions to the series and her work and relationship with showrunner, Noah Hawley. She lensed episodes 3&4 of the new series which is out now on Apple TV+ and stars Juno Temple and Jon Hamm.

On today's show, host Giles Alderson welcomes director Oliver Krimpas to talk all about how he made his first feature film Around the Sun on a low budget. We've had guests like Zack Snyder and Matthew Vaughn in the past months, but with this episode, we bring the show back to its roots. Oliver chats with Giles about
the importance of a casting director
producing on a low-budget
the magic of editing
releasing a drama worldwide and getting a cinema release
and so much more!
AROUND THE SUN is out now! TRAILER
Touring a repossessed chateau, a film location scout falls for its flirtatious representative, who recounts the story of an influential book written there. But is their connection for real, or just a projection of the book's characters?
Check out the film's website: Around the Sun movie (aroundthesunfilm.com)
