Joining us this week is Zach Kuperstein, a New York-based cinematographer known for his work on "Barbarian" and his collaboration with Anna Kendrick on her highly anticipated directorial debut, "Woman of the Hour". Zach sits down with host David Kruta to discuss why he’s running for office in Local 600, breaking down contract negotiations, leadership stagnation, and why democratic engagement among union members matters now more than ever. With elections looming, Kuperstein outlines a progressive campaign for union leadership - and why the status quo is no longer sustainable for working camera professionals.
