Rian Johnson Instagram – This summer we lost a member of our movie family, the great Dale Myrand. Dale was our camera operator starting on Looper, all the way up to Poker Face. Actors loved him – the relationship between a camera operator and an actor doesn’t get talked about much but it’s key, and everyone loved Dale. The camera crew loved him, he led by example, always excited and engaged by every new day of telling stories for a living.
Dale used to joke that he was going to call his memoir “parking lots I have eaten in.” It still doesn’t seem real to me that on the next movie I won’t be huddling with him before dawn in a random parking lot with a breakfast burrito, making plans for a cigar at lunch. He was a helluva guy and a helluva filmmaker and I’ll miss making movies with him the rest of my life. | Posted on 01/Jul/2023 15:53:44
