“Creating lasting friendships with fellow collaborators is one of Oscar Ignacio Jiménez’s greatest joys in the world of filmmaking–in which he has distinguished himself as an emotionally nuanced cinematographer. Oscar’s past work examines the human spirit through an intimate, realistic lens, and includes the films The Killing of Two Lovers, Notes from a Quiet Town, The Minors, and Infinite Blue.

His latest endeavor and third collaboration with director Robert Machoian is the Tribeca 2022 Official Selection The Integrity of Joseph Chambers. The film closely follows Joe, a family man, as he heads into the woods by himself in hopes of proving his survivalist capabilities to his family. For this project, Oscar opted to rely on heavy camera movement by way of handheld shots and dollies to establish a sense of spiritual intimacy between the lens and Joe.

We had the opportunity to speak with Oscar about his approach to visual storytelling, his favorite takeaways from shooting The Integrity of Joseph Chambers, and his past projects and collaborations.”
