After getting her start in short film and reality television—including a stint as director of photography for MTV’s The Hills—cinematographer Rachel Morrison has become a major name in the world of movie-making of late, having brought her craft to everything from Ryan Coogler’s Fruitvale Station and Black Panther to films like Mudbound (for which she picked up an Oscar nomination) and the neon-colored streets of Dope. Now Morrison is moving from behind the camera to, well, behind the camera, but also in charge, we guess, as Variety reports that she’s teaming up with Barry Jenkins for her directorial debut.
