About

HEAT Frame Finder grew out of @heatframes, an X account that posted stills from Heat in order, one every 15 minutes, from the opening titles to the last shot at LAX. This site puts all 3,475 of those frames in one place and makes them searchable, so you can find the exact moment you're thinking of, study how the film is lit and framed, or just get lost in it.
