Clint Bentley ’s “ Train Dreams ” follows the Joel Edgerton as Robert Grainier, a logger and railroad worker living in the Pacific NorthWest.

Set in the late 1960s, “Train Dreams” is directed by “Sing Sing” co-writer Clint Bentley who called on Adolpho Veloso to be the film’s cinematographer.

The images are lush. The tall green trees pop against the clear blue sky, until a wildfire ravages the forest and changes Grainger’s life. Suddenly, the palette is ash and grey reflecting the aftermath.

Veloso’s imagery is one that lingers long after the film credits have rolled. In one scene, it’s a grand moment, as the tall trees get sawed down all in the name of progress.

Veloso sat down with Variety for Inside the Frame and said, “For 99% of the movie, we used natural light.”
