140: "The Gutter" DP Veronica Bouza

Today I'm privileged to have Veronica Bouza on the program to talk about her work on the new film "The Gutter"! Veronica is a Director of Photography originally from Los Angeles, California, whose work spans narrative, commercial, and documentary. She moved up the ranks through crewing as an IATSE 476 electrician and an IATSE 600 camera assistant and received her MFA from the American Film Institute. Veronica’s AFI thesis, “We Were Meant To,” premiered at Sundance 2023. Veronica’s narrative work has been an official selection at Sundance, Tribeca, BAFTA, SXSW, and Slamdance Film Festival. She lensed projects in Seasons 2 and 3 of Indeed’s Rising Voices program, which both screened at Tribeca. Her short "Pens and Pencils" is currently streaming on Max, and she shot a pilot for Warner Media called Remember.  Most recently, Veronica finished principal photography on an independent feature called Grassland starring Mia Maestro (Motorcycle Diaries) and Quincy Isaiah (Winning Time). Her debut feature, The Gutter, premiered at SXSW 2024, starring Shameik Moore (Spider-Verse) and Susan Sarandon.     Veronica was named American Cinematographer's 2022 Rising Stars of Cinematography.
