I USED TO BE FAMOUS - Nominated for the Roger Deakins Award 2016

"L.A. always knows how to put on a good show, but cinematographer Eben Bolter makes it look enticing and decadent as the green, red, and blue hues make the setting pop." DEADLINE

VIRTUAL PRODUCTION

GREYHAWK WINS AT EDINBURUGH

ASC PODCAST - AVENUE 5

THE FORGOTTEN"There is something eminently true to life about his directorial style and the sublime choice to shoot predominantly handheld, with some truly superb cinematography by Eben Bolter … only enhances the reality of this movie. The Forgotten is a fantastic British horror movie that, even with its flaws, should be seen by all"

JUDE LAW, NATALIE DORMER, IAN MCKELLAN, RORY KENEAR star in a short film for the YOUNG VIC theatre. Watch the film now by clicking on the image to the right.

“Affecting… Excellent… Believable and very well photographed” - Roger Deakins ASC, BSC

ARRI RENTAL - THE MARTINI SERIES

“The laughter and pure hysteria are infectious in this wildly enjoyable film" Peter Bradshaw, - 5 STARS “Hugely Enjoyable” - 4 STARS

ARRI Rental USA asked Eben Bolter BSC to join them for their weekly ‘The Martini’ series of interviews with DPs during lockdown to talk about a wide range of cinemaotgraphery related topics.

"The visuals are Night Teeth’s strongest asset. Cinematographer Eben Bolter makes every frame pop with his bold use of lighting and colour to create an appetising world for the night-time action.” THE UPCOMING

TECNICOLOR ASKED EBEN BOLTER BSC TO PROVIDE A QUOTE FOR HIS FAVOURITE FILM SHOT IN TECHNICOLOR, AS BELOW:

IBOY ON NETFLIX NOW

“The cinematographer Eben Bolter knows his neon” THE NEW YORK TIMES

Starring MAISIE WILLIAMS, BILL MILNER, RORY KINNEAR and MIRANDA RICHARDSON. Directed by ADAM RANDALL

‘Psycho Thriller’ by BSC Magazine “We tried to be provocative and to never slip into how you might traditionally shoot a period drama. We wanted to surprise viewers, but without ever being gimmicky"

Eben was named a BAFTA BREAKTHROUGH BRIT 2016 at a prestigious ceremony by a jury of industry experts, for his cinematography on director Joe Stephenson’s feature film debut CHICKEN.

"Eben Bolter’s almost expressionistic lighting gives the red-chair interviews a theatrical warmth. - 4 STARS “McKellen reminds us what it means to give ourselves to others through art” - 4 STARS

On November 30th 2018 Eben was invited to become a full member of the British Society of Cinematographers

BSC VIDEO Q&A - AVENUE 5

BAFTA BREAKTHROUGH

MCKELLEN: PLAYING THE PART

BSC MAGAZINE 71 - MEET THE NEW WAVE FEATURE

BSC FULL MEMBER

The British Society of Cinematographers asked Eben to break down his work on the HBO series Avenue 5. Interviewed by Laurie Rose BSC over Zoom, this was the first of a new series of weekly interviews during the Covid 19 Lockdown and Eben was able to share previously unseen behind the scenes images and lighting setups.

“The trend for a certain type of historical verisimilitude in TV adaptations - specifically, period lighting - surely reaches its apogee in five-parter The Woman in White" - 5 STARS

film review "This found-footage thriller combines Blair Witch, Paranormal Activity and Peep Show – and makes fantastically unnerving use of a West Country church." "A very punchy, funny, scary movie and a fantastically unnerving location."

THE WOMAN IN WHITE - BBC ONE MINI SERIES

Short film written and directed by Oscar nominated actor CHIWETEL EJIOFOR has won the webby for online film or video in the catagory Drama: Individual Short or Episode.

LA TIMES REVIEWS WHITE DRAGON

"But what makes “White Dragon” a (much) better than average thriller is not the particulars of its plot, but the excellence of its execution. Eben Bolter’s camera vividly translates the extraordinary look of Hong Kong, playing itself, while sets feel authentically inhabited over time, not freshly dressed for the camera."
