Award-winning cinematographer Nino Martinetti will share valuable industry knowledge with guests at the Gold Coast Indie Film & TV night at the Gold Coast Arts Centre on June 26th.
Nino, who is well-known for his outstanding work on the film “Molokai”-The Story of Father Damien, directed by Paul Cox, and winner of an Australian Film Institute Best Cinematography Award for the feature film Exile directed by Paul Cox, will talk about his experience using digital photography for the film Bad Karma starring internationally acclaimed actor Ray Liotta and Dominic Purcell.
Filmed on the Gold Coast in Queensland, the feature film Bad Karma represented an exciting challenge that broke with tradition for Nino, who was delighted to reunite with English director Suri Krishnamma on the film project.
“In 1995 I shot a telemovie called The Place of the Dead about British Soldiers abseiling on Mt Kinabalu with Krishnamma on location here in Queensland, in Borneo and England,” said Nino.
“I formed a strong rapport with Suri, who then years later asked me to film Bad Karma in 2011 using digital photography – a first for me.”
Nino said it was that kind of rapport, trust and respect he had experienced with many directors that had contributed to his success in the industry for more than 35 years.
