About the Filmmakers
Guillermo Arriaga, the award-winning writer of Babel, 21 Grams and Amores Perros and a two-time Academy award-winning cinematographer, Janusz Kaminski, the DP on Schindler’s List, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and Catch Me If You Can, have joined forces to create a story as frightening as it is drop dead beautiful. The result: Broken Night, a short film shot entirely on the Nikon D800.
