When interviewed in 2000 , Manianci commented on the disparaging styles in his films , saying " you ’d be hard-pressed to say there ’s a single person behind them . They 're all really different looking ... '' Claire Dolan '' , for instance , is an incredibly formal art film with very precise , almost geometric sort of chrome-and-glass photography . It ’s very voyeuristic . Whereas in '' The Opportunists '' the camera is invisible . The shots are carefully chosen , but the film is not about the camerawork . It does n't call attention to itself . " Manianci describes his work as " highly adaptive . I try to create a look that ’s appropriate for each film . It ’s not about me attaching myself to a project and it becoming about me . It ’s about me becoming part of it – trying to figure out what that project wants to be . " Maniaci received the Hamptons International Film Festival Cinematography Award for '' Searching for Paradise '' ( 2002 )
