Winter Camera Operator
The Fabelmans tells the story of Sammy Fabelman—the stand-in for a young Steven Spielberg—as he explores a passion for filmmaking while at the same time navigating the turbulent waters of his family. In a Camera Operator video interview, A camera operator Mitch Dubin, SOC; B camera/Steadicam operator Colin Anderson, SOC; and dolly grip John Mang talk about their roles on shooting this intimate and deeply personal new film from one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.
