Kodak article about Millard (InCamera) April 2008

'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. '

-Paul Gordon, director (The Happy Poet) November 2009
