FILMMAKER MAGAZINE INTERVIEW: “I Prepared Myself by Digesting a Lot of Close-Ups and Portraits”: DP Iikka Salminen on Sebastian

"By externalizing the protagonist’s inner life through its melancholy palette and deliberate framing, the cinematography in Sebastian becomes a visual metaphor for Max/Sebastian’s journey towards integrating his fractured identity. Salminen’s thoughtful lensing immerses the audience in the character’s mindset, ensuring Sebastian will linger in the imagination long after the credits roll." -GAZETTELY

"Cinematographer Iikka Salminen captures a moody, bright-lights, big-city portrait of London as a place where countless strangers guarantee anonymity." -SCREEN DAILY
