A look into how the Good Time<\/em> and Uncut Gems<\/em> filmmakers \u2014 Benny and Josh Safdie \u2014 create kinetic energy and dynamic color palettes in their films.<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s something undeniably fascinating about the films created by the Safdie brothers. Born and raised in New York, Benjamin Safdie<\/a> and his younger brother, Joshua Safdie<\/a>, have put together an impressive list of stylized and energetic films, the most recent being Good Time<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(2017) and Uncut Gems<\/em><\/a> (2019).<\/p>\n

And, while the brothers didn\u2019t just wake up and decide on a style that’s quickly becoming recognizable, they’ve been a subtle part of a greater filmmaking trend, lending itself to handheld shakiness, quick-cuts, and an abundance of kinetic energy on screen.<\/p>\n

For filmmakers who have recognized the style in the Safdie brothers\u2019 films, or are just interested in finding new and creative ways to make their projects more fast-paced and interesting, let\u2019s take a look at this Safdie-kinetic filmmaking style.<\/p>\n
