John Guleserian

John Guleserian, straight out of Chicago—yeah, that city with the deep-dish pizza and winters that’ll freeze your soul—has been making movies look ridiculously good for a while now. You’ve definitely caught his work, even if you didn’t know it at the time. He’s the guy behind the lens on “About Time” (that one with the time travel and all the feels), “Happiest Season” (Kristen Stewart in a Christmas rom-com with a twist), and the absolutely bonkers “Cocaine Bear” (yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like, and it’s somehow even wilder than you’d expect). There’s something about John’s style—he’s got this knack for making every shot feel kinda intimate, like you’re right there with the characters, whether they’re falling in love, coming out to their families, or being chased by a bear on a coke bender. The dude knows how to play with light, color, and mood in a way that just draws you in. Not every cinematographer nails that mix of heart and chaos, but John? He pulls it off like it’s no big deal. Oh, and fun fact—he’s been married to Theresa Guleserian since New Year’s Eve 2010. Guess he likes a bit of romance off-screen too. But yeah, if you’re a film nerd or just someone who appreciates when movies look extra sharp, keep an eye out for John’s name in the credits. The man’s got a serious eye, and he’s not afraid to use it.
