Cinematographer Alicia Robbins on the Netflix series Keep Breathing, Grey’s Anatomy and the upcoming season of Bridgerton

Cinematographer Alicia Robbins' work on the Netflix show, Keep
Breathing, was quite challenging as they had location scouts at
seven different remote forests in Vancouver, Canada near Whistler.
The crew had to off-road it for miles, and they filmed in some
locations that had never been shot before. Keep Breathing is about
Liv Rivera, a high-powered attorney whose private plane crashes in
the Canadian wilderness. Alone, she must conquer her inner demons
and struggle to survive while finding her way back to civilization.
Liv's life is shown in flashbacks as she tramps through the forest.
Alicia shot the second block of Keep Breathing while fellow
cinematographer Jon Joffin shot the first block. Jon put the team
together for the first half and she was happy that the key crew was
already established. Due to the pandemic, Alicia had to quarantine
in her apartment in Canada for two weeks. The added time gave her
the chance to go over the lookbook, watch dailies from the first
half, and have hours of discussion with the director about shots,
colors and tone. As a DP, Alicia says so much of the time you're
just thrown into prep, quickly looking at locations, without enough
time to think it all through. Cinepod host Illya and Alicia first
met working on a small low budget indie feature called Boppin' At
the Glue Factory, written and directed by Illya's longtime friend
Jeff Orgill. Alicia began her career after graduating from AFI and
started shooting low budget features while working her way up. Her
first big television DP job was the series Grey's Anatomy, where
she worked for nearly three years. Alicia was ready to to try
something new and expand her skills as a cinematographer, so she
was excited to face the challenges on Keep Breathing. Alicia is
currently shooting the new season of Bridgerton, which has been a
delight. She enjoys working in London, with amazing, beautiful
locations and lush, colorful costumes and set design. Find Alicia
