Cory Richards Instagram – Big love to this guy, my dear dear friend Reinaldo Marcus Green for his new film One Love @onelovemovie out in theaters now. I don’t know how many times I’ve talked about the importance of lighting throughout my career. Too many. Which is it’s so funny that Rei and I met in Lamps Plus on some random Tuesday (that’s Rei’s review on the last slide)
Biopics are notoriously hard films to make, especially when the person depicted is still fresh in our memory. Covering an entire life and weaving it all together is an incredibly difficult task. It’s arguable that Bob Marley is the most globally recognizable musician in the world. His music is pervasive and I’ve heard it everywhere I’ve traveled, from an international science station in Antarctica to a boat in the Russian Arctic to a tea house in Tibet. Few contemporary artists have such a fingerprint and I believe his message is important now more than ever.
It’s hard to comprehend the undertaking of Rei, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Lashana Lynch @lashanalynch and everyone else involved in the film. Regardless, under his direction, the roles are transformative and played with incredible skill and care. Well done! Go have some popcorn and let the music you already know be born again. | Posted on 15/Feb/2024 23:00:19
