How did The Abyss opportunity arise?

In a very special episode of the Film Stories podcast, Simon chats to cinematographer and director Mikael Salomon.

The pair go through Mikael's extraordinary career, that's taken him from Denmark to Hollywood and back again. And Mikael tells his stories: his early years, how he came to the attention of James Cameron, working on The Abyss, Arachnophobia, Always and more, and then turning to direct (not least with the challenging Hard Rain.)

It's a clickbait-free, AI-free conversation, with a filmmaker telling their stories. Please do subscribe and spread the word if you like it!
