in quotations :
"Writer-director Stephen Belyeu's ‘Dig' is a slow burn that, with the help of the spectacular cinematography of Lucas Millard, effectively combines the languid pace of South Texas with haunting whispers of the supernatural in this unique family tale of love, loss, forgiveness and regret."

'Lucas recently shot my feature film The Happy Poet and did an amazing job. Both his camera operation and his lighting raised the look of the film to a higher level. We were on a very tight schedule--shooting a feature film in 18 days--and his can-do attitude was much appreciated and necessary for getting everything shot. Despite long shooting days, Lucas brought his " A-game" every day, and was a lot of fun to work with. It is my pleasure to recommend Lucas highly as both a Director of Photography and a camera operator. '
