Actress, Elisabeth Moss
Reed Morano (UGFTV, 2000) directs the first three episodes of Hulu’s new critically acclaimed show The Handmaid’s Tale. The show, based off of the novel by Margaret Atwood, follows Offred (Elisabeth Moss,) a woman forced to survive as a surrogate slave in a totalitarian government where fertility is rare and surveillance is heavy.
Morano has worked most of her career as a cinematographer. Her career spans from commercial shoots to music videos like Beyonce’s Lemonade and has shot movies such as Kill Your Darlings, The Magic of Belle Isle and The Skeleton Twins. More impressive is that Morano is the youngest member and one of the few women in the American Society of Cinematographers. It gives her the selective and distinct honor of adding “A.S.C.” at the end of her name.
