While fans of Paul Thomas Anderson continue to wait for updates about his new 1970s-set feature, the director’s “Phantom Thread” lighting crew recently took time out of quarantine to look back on Anderson’s beloved 2017 romance (which IndieWire named the 20th best film of the 2010s). First AC Erik Brown, lighting cameraman Mike Bauman, and gaffer Jonny Franklin joined Lux Lighting at the start of July for a two-and-half-hour masterclass in which they broke down the craftsmanship behind “Phantom Thread.” Highlights from the masterclass have been rounded up by The Film Stage and confirm that some of the best “Phantom Thread” moments were entirely improvised.
