A new generation of moviemakers is beginning to sprout up around the country, making colleges and universities the go-to place to look for the next batch of talent. With this in mind, the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) has begun weeding out the cream of the cinematography crop with its ASC Burton Stone Heritage Award for outstanding achievement in student moviemaking. This year’s recipients of the award include Nathan Levine-Heaney from Florida State University, who took the top prize in the Graduate category, and Aaron Dunson from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, who came up big in the Undergraduate competition.
