 HD EXPO AsksSuny Behar: Cinematographer, Filmmaker, Instructor by Christine Purse Suny Behar has been teaching the intricacies of cameras to professional cinematographers at P2 Workshops and VariCamps around the country for more than a year. We decided it was time to catch up with this much-in-demand filmmaker and teacher to see what was on his mind and what teaching professional students around the country has taught him. HDE: Sometimes you can end up in a career that is far removed from your original goal. How did you end up as a cinematographer? Behar: Having an undergraduate degree in Economics and Math might not seem like the ideal pathway to cinematography and filmmaking, but in an ironic way, it really was for me. It allowed me to sit for exams, rather than spend weeks researching and writing essays, which then gave me the free time to explore other fields like the Theater, which was my main interest and focus at the time. It wasn't’until I enrolled at the UCLA Graduate School of Theater, Film and Television, to complete a Masters in Film and Television Production, that I finally focused on the work that would be my career today, and I'm sure glad I did, as it continues to take me to amazing places. HDE: Tell us about your directing career. What are you working on? Behar: I recently completed the writing on a new feature length script called "I am Superman"; it's a quirky family comedy about a customer service rep who wants to be Superman for his children. I'm extremely excited about it, and can’t wait to get it off the ground. I hope to make that my next directorial project. More... News from HD EXPO's Sister Cities: Los Angeles, New York and Chicago
