Larkin Seiple is an award-winning Director of Photography with one of the most memorable portfolios of work. Larkin was featured in Variety's 2016 “Below-The-Line Impact Report: Up Next” and is the youngest filmmaker to be included in Variety's 2018 Artisans Elite Report. Having started in music videos, Larkin has collaborated with artists such as FKA Twigs, A Tribe Called Quest, Benny Blanco, Gary Clark Jr., David Guetta, Chet Faker, Rhianna, and Foster the People. He won an MTV VMA for ‘Best Cinematography' for Flying Lotus feat. Kendrick Lamar's Never Catch Me and a Camerimage Award for ‘Best Music Video' for DJ Snake & Lil Jon's Turn Down for What. He was nominated for a Grammy Award for Foster the People's Houdini and a World Music Award for Taylor Swift's 22. In 2018 he won countless awards including Best Cinematography at UKMVA and Camerimage for his impressive work in Childish Gambino's widely acclaimed cultural touchstone “This is America,” starring Donald Glover and directed by Hiro Murai. Since its debut, the video has been viewed more than 800 million times on YouTube. Shot on 3-perf 35mm film on 400-foot rolls, Seiple had only one hour of total footage on which to shoot, dramatically limiting what he could shoot and the length of each take. On the narrative side, Larkin transitioned to features with the 2015 Kevin Bacon comedy-thriller Cop Car produced by Park Pictures, followed by Sony/Open Road Films' Bleed for This starring Miles Teller. He went on to lense A24's Swiss Army Man directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, starring Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe, which screened in the U.S. Dramatic Section of the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, Netflix's I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore starring Elijah Wood and Melanie Lynskey, which won the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, and the Julius Onah-directed Luce starring Naomi Watts and Octavia Spencer, which premiered at 2019 Sundance Film Festival. Larkin most recently wrapped Everything Everywhere All At Once, collaborating again with directors Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert and A24.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
