The Bear features head chef Carmy Berzatto grappling with personal demons in a high-stakes restaurant environment centered around culinary ambitions and familial dysfunction. Starring Jeremy Allen White and a talented ensemble, the series is visually distinct, influenced by renowned filmmakers like Ridley Scott and Martin Scorsese. Emmy-winning cinematographer Drew Wehde's collaboration with creator Christopher Storer emphasizes meticulous visual storytelling, mirroring the production's intensive preparation and dynamic style. The show blends dark themes of survival with vibrant culinary culture through a frenetic visual approach, setting it apart in the television landscape.
"It's funny, if someone told me four years ago that I get to make a TV show and it's gonna be Michael Mann versus Scorsese versus Tony Scott, I'd be like, how is this possible?" Wehde tells AnOther, fresh off the third wave of Emmy nominations for The Bear.
Tony [Scott] spent an hour with his director of photography and his assistant director every morning, walking through the whole day, reflecting a shared responsibility in filmmaking.
