Cinema Atlas Connection
Visually, I was trying to mix different styles, from the experimental cinema of Kenneth Anger and Jordan Belson to films like Suspiria for its extreme use of color.
Suspiria is a truly beautiful film with extraordinary visual language. It's definitely something that's always been in the back of my mind when I'm creating a mood or atmosphere with color.
