“Cooke Anamorphic lenses maintain a superbly consistent look as a set, including the 25mm which is a personal favorite of mine for close-up work. I don’t like skipping a focal length due to a particular lenses’ idiosyncrasy. I choose Cooke lenses for my work, because I can pick a lens out of a set without limitation.”Jordan T. Parrott, Director of Photography

A 1980’s mob story, “Tony’s Auto Repair” has the customary grit begetting of the crime genre, with the sprinkling of hyperbolic
humor from an ensemble cast.
With the location already secured while writing the film, I was able to dial in ideas lending to a wide frame, conveying visual
depth using action in each element of the picture.
I felt the film called for a beautiful, well rounded anamorphic, which would cover the frame’s edges cleanly without being overly sharp, while maintaining the anamorphic bokeh without chromatic aberration in the halation. I chose Cooke Anamorphics as a quality set of lenses, which on the Alexa Mini allowed me to use the full field of view: .66 aspect ratio, a particularly fitting frame for “Tony’s Auto Repair”.
The opening shot filmed through the windshield of a 1980 Cadillac Coup DeVille, as it rolls into Tony’s Auto Repair shop, draws an intriguing wide frame within a frame using the 2.66 aspect ratio. Cooke Anamorphic lenses maintain a superbly consistent look as a set, including he 25mm which is a personal favorite of mine for close-up work. I don’t like skipping a focal length due to a particular lenses’ idiosyncrasy. I choose Cooke lenses for my work, because I can pick a lens out of a set without limitation.
