THE NEGATIVE
VistaVision Strikes Back
By David Harvilla & Jack Winemiller
The Negative, is about a large format still photographer and his journey in the wilderness of the American West. The film is a love letter to the John Ford western The Searchers, which was filmed in Monument Valley, a red-sand desert region on the Arizona-Utah border, which the production team of The Negative also chose as their shooting location. The scale of the landscape and theme of The Negative called for an epic shooting format. After exploring different options and formats, the filmmakers decided to originate the film on VistaVision.
