Fanning the Flames

The School of Light was proud to be involved in the recent Hulu series 'Little Fires Everywhere'.

To ensure maximum authenticity, the producers commissioned SoL courses director Andrew Hall to instruct lead actor Kerry Washington and coach her in the fine art of film photography for her role as Mia Warren, and consult on the construction of the movie's darkroom set.

This powerful adaptation of Celeste Ng's bestselling novel, set in the 1980's puts Mia's expressive film photography at the heart of the story.
