ASC William A. Fraker Heritage Award Honors 2 Students By Iain Stasukevich
ASC William A. Fraker Heritage Awards were given to two student cinematographers, Dagmar Weaver-Madsen of the University of California-Los Angeles and Boyd Hobbs of Full Sail University, in February. (Honorable mentions were Wesley Cardino of the American Film Institute, Michal Dabal of the American Film Institute, Madeline Eberhard of Florida State University and Allen Liu of Chapman University.) Weaver-Madsen’s winning entry, The Absence , charts the path of an upwardly mobile assistant manager in the records department of a mysterious company called Black House Securities. He is sent on a mission to a rural town, where he uncovers the truth behind Black House, and ultimately must choose between kowtowing to the messianic upper management and calling it quits.

Weaver-Madsen entered UCLA’s graduate program in film, television and digital media knowing she wanted to study cinematography. (She had already shot a comedy series on video and a short film on 16mm.) In her first year, the MFA program’s three cinematography students and 18 directing students were rotated through various crew positions over the course of multiple films; someone served as camera operator on one film, then director on another, then sound recordist on another, and so on. That way, no matter what area a student finally focuses on, he or she knows what the other departments are doing. On her first project, Weaver-Madsen was assigned to be the cinematographer for directing student Alex DeMille, and they quickly discovered they worked well together. In their second year, she shot DeMille’s advanced project, and by the time their thesis projects were being prepped, they had already developed a tight shorthand. “We could work together almost without even talking to each other,” says Weaver-Madsen. “We’d just look at each other
