Today, we talk with cinematographer William Rexer about his work on ‘The Testament of Ann Lee’.

William shares how he got to this project and the creative collaboration with the likes of writer-director Mona Fastvold, writer Brady Corbet, composer Daniel Blumberg, and choreographer Celia Rowlson-Hall.

We explore how they approached translating the Shakers’ ecstatic worship onto the big screen while preserving its intimate spirituality, and dig into the weather challenges production faced during the shoot.
