Q&A: Bradford Young

Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:33:00 -0400

Here is a sneak peak of our Q & A with Urbanworld Filmmaker Bradford Young, cinematographer for Middle of Nowhere, Restless City and Pariah.

“Q: What made your Urbanworld Film Festival experience stand out amongst other festivals you have participated in?

A: There is a certain level of apprehension while at a festival where a dark frame would be more readily seen as an under exposed image than an homage to one of our masters. At Urbanworld, in a conversation about the film, I’m amongst folks who will understand my references.”
