One of the many photographs seen in Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters.
The 2012 documentary Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters chronicles the work of acclaimed Brooklyn-born photographer.
With his filmmaker-like sense of visual composition, Crewdson has created some of the most striking and gorgeously haunting pictures of the past two decades. His meticulously mounted, large-scale images offer strong narratives of small-town American life—elaborately detailed moviescapes crystallized into a single frame. While the photographs are staged with crews that rival many feature film productions, Crewdson takes inspiration as much from his own dreams and fantasies as the worlds of Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch, Edward Hopper and Diane Arbus. Crewdson’s imagery has also infiltrated the pop culture landscape—including his memorable ads for HBO’s Six Feet Under and his album art for the band Yo La Tengo.
Directed by Ben Shapiro and shot over a decade with ready access to Crewdson, Brief Encounters received a small but well-reviewed release to U.S. theaters in October, 2012.

- Deleted scenes of Gregory Crewdson photo shoots
