Little promotion could have helped 10 reach more audience which it deserved. A good interview.

Lovely interview. Karma is almost philosophical in his approach. Wonder why he doesn't do more movies

[@DankKnight777]

Excellent interview. Rarely do we get such in depth insight of a cinematographer.
A question - he said he is not working on any current films. Does it mean he is not DOP of Richard Anthony. Did he confirm anything??
