In this episode of Set Life Podcast, Dan Rubottom sits down with cinematographer Benji Osborne on the XR stage at Oral Roberts University. Benji shares how a childhood love for photography turned into a full-time career in filmmaking, why he once thought video was “pretty stupid,” and what changed his mind. From fashion shoots at 17 to shooting Emmy-winning commercials and a feature documentary on Tulsa’s Black firefighters, Benji opens up about the lessons he learned, meeting Roger Deakins, and how submission and humility shaped his growth. Whether you’re an aspiring DP or just love good storytelling, this episode is packed with wisdom, laughs, and hard-earned truths from the trenches of the film world.
