Crossing genres, the psychological horror movie is a social critique and a tale of displacement, following Aisha (Anna Diop), a woman who recently emigrated from Senegal and is hired to care for the daughter of an affluent couple, Amy and Adam (played by Michelle Monaghan and Morgan Spector), living in New York City. In a story that has become all-too familiar in reality, Aisha is also a mother haunted by the absence of the young son she left behind. She\u2019s seeking her own version of the American Dream, one in which she earns enough money at her new job to bring her son to the US, but Aisha becomes increasingly unsettled by the volatility of her employers as well as a violent presence that invades both her dreams and waking life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first horror film to win the award,<em> Nanny<\/em> won this year\u2019s Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, with Jusu becoming the second Black woman director to be recognized.

href=\"https:\/\/ascmag.com\/articles\/nanny-waking-nightmare\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Max Weinstein<\/a> for <em>American Cinematographer<\/em>, was shot with Panavision Ultra Panatar anamorphic lenses, while \u201cAisha\u2019s world\u201d was shot with Panavision H-series sphericals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe wanted to subtly heighten the visuals when Aisha is in Amy\u2019s world,\u201d Yang explained to Weinstein. \u201cUltra Panatars are only x1.3 anamorphic, so that\u2019s a very subtle effect. The focus fall-off and the flare felt like the right choice for that world. And I wanted Aisha\u2019s everyday life to have a more grounded and spontaneous feel, which was brought out by the H-series and a more handheld approach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aisha\u2019s nightmares are haunted by visions of the Mami Wata, a malevolent mermaid from African folklore. In one nightmare sequence, Aisha hears the creature\u2019s cries coming from outside the guest room door and looks up in terror as a deluge of water pours down from the ceiling and the room begins to flood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yang\u2019s approach to shooting the scene was \u201cquite lo-fi,\u201d she told Weinstein, because \u201cwe couldn\u2019t afford a Hydrocrane or fancy underwater kit.\u201d The small crew, which included key grip Stratton Bailey and gaffer Andrew Hubbard, \u201cdidn\u2019t use a [standard] telescopic crane because the camera had to move through the water [coming from the ceiling],\u201d she said. \u201cSo, it really was as simple as putting an arm on our dolly and then our SFX team, which built pipes into the ceiling, poured water on Anna while the camera was in a splash bag.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach was inspired by one of Yang\u2019s favorite shots from Steve McQueen\u2019s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/JUBqiELlfpI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hunger<\/a><\/em>. \u201cI remembered watching <em>Hunger <\/em>and really liking this one shot,\u201d she relates to Weinstein. \u201cThen, when I went to this master class with its cinematographer, Sean Bobbitt, he explained how he had filmed a top shot over a bed, in which the main character \u2014 Bobby, played by Michael Fassbender \u2014 was dying. The shot was really wobbly because he had an awful crane grip, so he thought it would be unusable. But McQueen loved its shakiness, which served the scene\u2019s emotional impact,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I knew that we wouldn\u2019t be using a stabilized head and that I\u2019d be shooting on a long zoom, moving through water, I was worried at first. But then I thought that maybe this shot would have a similar emotional impact as that shot from <em>Hunger<\/em>. And I think it did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Underwater sequences for <em>Nanny<\/em>, including a horrifying scene where Mami Wata drags Aisha into the depths of a murky pool, were shot by Ian S. Takahashi, who trained under Academy Award-winning cinematographer John Toll, ASC (<em>Braveheart<\/em>, <em>Legends of the Fall<\/em>) and was mentored by acclaimed underwater cinematographer Mike Thomas (<em>Thin Red Line<\/em>, <em>Cast Away<\/em>). A prolific underwater DP with a lengthy list of commercial and music video credits, Takahashi\u2019s feature film work includes <em>The Suicide Squad<\/em> and <em>Lost City<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAny underwater shots take a long time to get just right,\u201d Yang said to Weinstein, \u201cbut we had to do it on an indie schedule with only had a few long takes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/ascmag.com\/articles\/nanny-waking-nightmare\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nanny \u2014 An Immigrant\u2019s Dripping-Wet, Waking Nightmare (American Cinematographer)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jusu\u2019s influences for <em>Nanny<\/em> included writers such as Saidiya Hartman, Zora Neale Hurston and Nikki Giovanni and filmmakers Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho, as well as visual artists like Boscoe Holder and Roy Decarava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI tried to not just be influenced by the medium that I\u2019m working in, because I find that it just makes your work feel like an homage to other filmmakers, as opposed to a new thing altogether.

I started and stopped, I doubted myself. I thought the story was too singular, too specific. It\u2019s a very personal story, there are pieces of my mother\u2019s story. I\u2019m Sierra Leonian American, and I watched my mother do jobs that were beneath her, and part of that was domestic work. I was always worried about how she was being treated in these households as a very fiercely protective child of my mother, that was the springboard,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut I knew I didn\u2019t want to tell a straightforward drama about a Black woman who\u2019s doing this domestic work,\u201d she added. \u201cI knew I wanted elements of horror. The darker genres allow you to tell the truth in a way that is really titillating and interesting and pulls the audience in a way that doesn\u2019t feel preachy or pedantic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2022\/11\/nanny-director-nikyatu-jusu-interview-contenders-los-angeles-1235177482\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2018Nanny\u2019 Director Nikyatu Jusu On The Journey Of Her Film To The Screen: \u201cWhen You\u2019re This Close To The Material, You Can Lose Your Mind\u201d (Deadline)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jusu, a graduate of NYU film school, attributes much of her confidence as a filmmaker to having learned how to edit as well as write and direct. Yes centering Aisha as the main character was a task that continued long after principal photography, she said in the film\u2019s production notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve had to navigate making sure that we linger in Aisha\u2019s POV heavily in post-production,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s just so ingrained in this industry to center on whiteness, that even when you have a Black woman filmmaker who has written the Black woman protagonist, there are certain stages of this process where you have to remind everyone that this is the main character, and we are seeing the world through her eyes,\u201d she continued. \u201cIt can be exhausting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next, Watch
