Rina Yang fights the battle of perception in ‘The Fire Inside’

2024's final episode features cinematographer Rina Yang, who joins us to discuss her work on The Fire Inside, the debut feature from cinematographer-turned-director Rachel Morrison.
In our chat, we dig into the challenges of capturing the inspiring yet painfully real story of boxer Claressa Shields, from adapting to the Flint, Michigan setting to incorporating different lighting techniques into the story and production.
Rina also shares insights on avoiding sport biopic clichés, creating an authentic visual language, and the connections between her and Shields’ journey.
