I was the cinematographer for the filmed component of the play, displayed on three silk banners on-stage. A single screen was therefore split up into three distinct vertical frames.
The video portion was shot on a Canon R6 as well as an old Sony camcorder. We filmed on-location in San Francisco's Exelsior, the Sunset, Golden Gate Park, as well as the Headlands, Golden Gate Bridge, and Stanford Campus.
