On today’s episode of In Love with the Process, host Mike Pecci sits down with master cinematographer Vanja Černjul, the visual mind behind acclaimed projects like House of the Dragon, The Deuce, Orange is the New Black, and Crazy Rich Asians.

The two gush over the emotional power of great lighting — how it doesn’t just shape a scene, but evokes memory, tone, and truth. From bold stylistic choices to subtle shifts in mood, Vanja breaks down how lighting becomes a language of its own.

They also dive into the essential role of communication and prep, why shows like House of the Dragon look so damn good, and the creative magic that happens when a director brings a clear vision to set.

This is a must-listen for filmmakers, cinematographers, and anyone obsessed with how powerful visuals can tell a story all on their own.

Strap in for a deep, passionate, and inspiring look behind the lens on a brand new episode of In Love with the Process.
