The two then reunited for Twilight Zone: The Movie with Daviau working with Spielberg on that feature’s “Kick the Can” portion, as well as with future Gremlins director Joe Dante on “It’s a Good Life.”
Allen Daviau went on to direct various commercials, documentaries, music videos and more, but he reunited with Steve Spielberg to be the cinematographer on 1982’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, for which he earned an Academy Award for Best Cinematography nomination.
