Brandon Cox on Shooting for RZA, Working Around the World, and the Real Role of a Cinematographer
Episode 398
On this supersized episode of In Love with the Process, Mike sits down with cinematographer Brandon Cox (Werewolves, One Spoon of Chocolate) for a deep dive into the art, craft, and chaos of filmmaking.
Brandon has built an incredible career shooting films around the world, including RZA’s new revenge thriller One Spoon of Chocolate, presented by Quentin Tarantino. The two friends talk openly about what a cinematographer actually does, the tools used to prep a film, how visual language evolves from project to project, and what it’s like leading crews across different countries and productions.
Brandon also shares stories from working with RZA, building the visual identity for One Spoon of Chocolate, and balancing creativity with the brutal realities of production.
The conversation moves from lenses and lighting to filmmaking philosophy, crew dynamics, surviving the business, and the emotional side of chasing a life in cinema.
This is a massive episode for filmmakers, cinematographers, film students, and anyone obsessed with the process behind great movies.
Music: Code Elektro, Mitch Murder
