Diego García
After graduating film school in his home country Mexico, Diego GARCÍA (1979) made his feature debut with Mark Jackson’s Without (2011). García’s international breakthrough followed in 2012 with his work on Yulene Olaizola’s Fogo. Alternating between American indies and world cinema, he continued collaborating with filmmakers such as Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Gabriel Mascaro and Carlos Reygadas. García’s award-winning camerawork is inspired by paintings and strong contrasts of light and dark. Recent work includes the cinematography for Paul Dano’s directorial debut Wildlife (2018), Nicolas Winding Refn’s television series Too Old to Die Young (2019) and Yorgos Lanthimos’ short film Nimic (2019).
