🎙️ On this episode of the Kingdom of Dreams Podcast, we sit down with legendary cinematographer Don Burgess, whose visual storytelling has shaped some of the most iconic films of the last few decades.

We dive into his latest work on The Thursday Murder Club, where Don brings a playful yet moody film noir aesthetic to life. He shares what made this project such a joy to shoot—the ensemble cast, the mystery tone, and the unexpected fun of mixing shadow and humor on screen.

Don also reflects on his work on LA Fires, capturing the intense heat—both literal and emotional—of a city on the edge. And we couldn’t let him go without asking about his long-time collaboration with Robert Zemeckis, including what might be next from the visionary director behind Forrest Gump and Cast Away.
