M. David Mullen
Mullen pursued his education in cinematography at the California Institute of the Arts from 1988 to 1991. During this time, he was mentored by Krzysztof Malkiewicz. This collaboration led to their joint effort on Cinematography (Third Edition), a comprehensive guidebook on film production techniques. Prior to enrolling at CalArts, Mullen, already 27 years old, had acquired a strong grasp of the technical aspects of cinematography by extensively utilizing resources such as the UCLA film library. He also co-edited the 11th Edition of the American Cinematographer Manual.
In the spring of 2004, Mullen attained membership in the American Society of Cinematographers—an esteemed accolade within the cinematography community. Notably, he received nominations for two Independent Spirit Awards for Best Cinematography: first in 2000 for Twin Falls Idaho, and then in 2004 for Northfork. In 2017, he was honored with the Best Cinematography award for his work on The Love Witch by the Dublin Film Critics' Circle.

The Ministry of Time
The Ministry of Time, a newly established government department, is gathering ‘expats' from across history in an experiment to test the viability of time-travel. Commander Graham Gore (an officer on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 Arctic expedition) is one such figure rescued from certain death – alongside an army captain from the fields of the Somme, a plague victim from the 1600s, a widow from revolutionary France, and a soldier from the seventeenth century.
The expats are placed with 21st century liaisons, known as 'bridges', in unlikely flatshares. Gore has to learn about contemporary life from scratch: from air travel to industrial warfare, from feminism to Spotify, from cinema to indoor plumbing; and he must negotiate cohabiting with the ambitious modern woman who works as his bridge. After an awkward beginning, the pair start to find pleasure and comfort in each other's company, developing a relationship that is simultaneously tender, intense and profoundly unprofessional; and the expats, adrift in a new era, form friendships that ground and support them in the lonely 21st century, where they have outlived everyone they ever knew and loved.
When a deeper conspiracy at the Ministry begins to reveal itself, the bridge must reckon with what she does next. Will she save or sacrifice the exiled misfits she has come to care for so deeply?
