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 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."
