As BTS-cinematographer for the latest instalment of the successful Hunger Games franchise, I documented the making of the film on location in Wrocław (Poland), Duisburg and Berlin and on stage at the historic Babelsberg studios. This unrestricted access allowed me to capture many intimate moments up close.

In addition to the usual promo footage to advertise the cinema release, my shots form the main part of a detailed, 8-part documentary on all aspects of the production, available as bonus material on the DVD/Blu-Ray.
