Hollywood Noir in 'I Am The Night' by Patty Jenkins

TNT's limited television series, I Am The Night, takes viewers on a journey into one of Hollywood's most nefarious chapters. Inspired by Fauna Hodel's autobiography, One Day She'll Darken, the series follows a young woman named Fauna (India Eisley) as she sets out to uncover the truth about her past and her connection to one of the city's most notorious unsolved crimes.


Written by Sam Sheridan and directed by Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman), the first two episodes of the show establish a dark, noir-esque look and feel that perfectly captures the ominous tone of the story. Cinematographer Matthew Jensen ASC selected KODAK VISION3 500T Color Negative Film 5219 and VISION3 250D Color Negative Film 5207 to help create the show's distinctive style.
