DOP Peter Simonite ASC CSC on his lens choice:
“I chose the Cooke s4 lenses for this film because of their timeless look. They’re sharp, clear, and the glass renders faces beautifully. Working with actors like Sarah Paulson, Rich Summer and Chris Messina it was really important to have a lens that could show their faces with intimate gorgeous detail, and would also be reliable in wide landscapes.  ”
