Creative Glue

Join host Scott Robinson in this episode of Creative Glue as he sits down with Alicia Robbins, cinematographer and director of photography whose work spans independent features to some of the most recognisable television series of our time.Raised in a family of musicians, Alicia’s creative journey didn’t begin behind the camera. From competitive poetry readings and public speaking to studying communications at Vanderbilt University, her path into cinematography was anything but linear. It wasn’t until a missing camera operator forced her to pick up the lens herself that she discovered the craft that would shape the next two decades of her life.With credits including Grey’s Anatomy, Bridgerton, Keep Breathing, and the upcoming Baywatch reboot, Alicia shares what it really takes to build a career in film and television — from shooting ultra-low-budget independent features and navigating financial uncertainty, to becoming what she calls a “16-year overnight success.”In this conversation, Alicia reflects on redefining success, the importance of treating small and large projects equally, and how one free short film changed the trajectory of her career. She dives into stepping into established shows, evolving visual language within iconic series, and the responsibility of setting the look for a new production from the ground up. From leadership on set to protecting creative energy off set, this episode explores the resilience, instinct, and collaboration required to thrive in a demanding industry.Available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts – search “Creative Glue podcast” or click the link below.thebox.com.au linktr.ee/thebox.com.au#CreativeGlue #Cinematography #Filmmaking #Storytelling #CreativeProcess #Television #Leadership #VisualLanguageCreative Glue will take you on a journey through the heart of creativity, where collaboration leads to amazing outcomes.
