My name is Deborah Eve Lewis
(but you can call me Deb.)
I take pictures - often 24 of them per second; sometimes more, sometimes less.
I'm a cinematographer, maker of films and a teacher to burgeoning filmmakers. I love my friends and family, and I'm lucky to be surrounded by such kind, hard-working and interesting people.
I enjoy short, excellent, weird films as much as I enjoy GREAT CINEMA, and sometimes they are one and the same, such as one of the greatest movies of all time – Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story. I enjoy knowing what others are reading and watching, so to share in that kind of sharing, here's a list of what I'm into these days:
What I'm reading:
Debra Jo Immergut's You Again.
The Emigrants by W. G. Sebald (some background)
Paul Schraders's The Transcendental Style in Film

Favorite cinematographers
An ever-changing list:
