Randy Douthit is a cinematographer and director who has worked on many TV shows, including Westworld; I’m Dying Up Here, The Knick, and Sons of Anarchy. Judy Justice was one of his earliest works which gained momentum due to its popularity with audiences in Australia. He believes that the world of filmmaking has changed during the pandemic, and he can confirm this through his own experience. His most recent work was for 2018’s TV show Eliza Graves which will be released by 2020 on FOX channels in the United States.
Randy Douthit joined the filmmaking world when he attended California State University in the early 1970s. He initially wanted to become a writer, but he changed his mind after attending a number of film productions with his friends and liking their work, thus pursuing a career as a cinematographer.
Therefore, Randy Douthit moved to Los Angeles to work on his first film, Flashpoint, which involved two brothers who own and operate an air ambulance business. The film was directed and written by a Jewish man called David Seltzer and released in 1983. He continued to work on many films after that despite no formal training. Still, he believes that his early experience working on the set of Flashpoint, such as knowing how many hours and days they would spend on each production, helped him gain motivation to continue working in the industry.
He is also a longtime friend with a director named Sidney Lumet, and together they have worked on many projects such as Louis Malle’s Dreyfuss’ Trial and The Verdict and Lumet’s Dog Day Afternoon. This relationship has helped them both to develop their careers in various ways.
Randy Douthit first worked in the world of television when he did some work for Starz, including four episodes of the TV series called Carnival Row, for which he shot over 40. However, that wasn’t his first experience with TV as he had worked on The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, which was a comedy TV series.
His major break into television came in 2013 when he did some work for the show Sons of Anarchy. He first started working on the show during its second season, and he believes that it was an excellent experience for him as it allowed him to learn about the world of production and how each department works together to achieve a successful outcome.
