Autumn Durald Arkapaw Is the First Woman DP to Shoot in IMAX — with ‘Sinners,’ It’s 65mm on Steroids

For Ryan Coogler’s genre-bending vampire film, Sinners, cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw shot 65mm on steroids in both IMAX and Ultra Panavision 70.

The film was also the first pairing of IMAX with the anamorphic Ultra Panavision 70 on the same film.
