How I Shot An Entire Feature Film on Sigma Art Lenses

Grandmother’s Gold, a movie by Brian Jordan Alvarez, who you might recognize from the season finale of the first  new season of Will & Grace, recently made waves on the internet and in the film making world. The full-length comedy feature was released for free on YouTube, racking up over 100,000 views in under a week. Though the film covers over 25 different locations and 190 setups, the director of photography Jordan McKittrick used only two lenses: the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art and the Sigma 50-100mm F1.8 Art lenses.
