Directing style
Alice Maio Mackay’s visual style is defined by a tense, ominous atmosphere rooted in night-time interiors, where subjects are framed almost exclusively in intimate medium shots and closeups at eye level. The cinematography relies heavily on an extremely shallow depth of field, isolating characters against dark backgrounds illuminated by vibrant neon, practical fixtures, and screen glow. This lighting casts a saturated palette of electric magentas, deep blues, and blood reds, creating a highly stylized, genre-fluid aesthetic that balances cold, desaturated tones with intense, vivid color.
