Documentary Celebrates Pioneer Directors of Photography

from here

A new documentary about two of the most influential directors of photography, Laszlo Kovacs and Vilmos Zsigmond, is in production. Martin Scorsese, Dennis Hopper, Mark Rydell, Owen Roizman and Haskell Wexler are among the film industry veterans slated to be interviewed, according to The Hollywood Reporter

Laszlo & Vilmos: The Story of Two Refugees Who Changed the Look of American Cinema is being written and helmed by director of photography James Chressanthis.

While living in Budapest during their youth, Kovacs and Zsigmond famously documented events of the Hungarian Revolution and carried the film on a risky, dangerous journey across the Austrian border. They arrived in the U.S. as political refugees from Hungary in February 1956 and went on to become prominent DPs.
