Mátyás Erdély wins ASC Spotlight Award
The Spotlight Award — sponsored by Panavision — brings to light smaller feature projects that deserve attention. The prize will be presented by Natasha Braier, ASC, ADF and filmmaker Boots Riley.
This was the second ASC Award nomination and second win for Erdély, who earned the prize in this category in 2016 for his work on the feature Son of Saul. (He shared the honor with Macbeth cinematographer Adam Arkapaw, as Spotlight Award voting in 2016 resulted in a tie.) Erdély’s credits include the features Delta,Tender Son: The Frankenstein Project and Miss Bala, as well as the four-part miniseries Southcliffe.
The awards ceremony was held at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, and hosted by The Four Seasons star Kerri Kenney-Silver. Presenters included Jason Reitman, Owen Wilson and Rachel Brosnahan, with special awards being presented to Guillermo del Toro, Robert Yeoman and more.
