Quotes
I live for film stock. I love the smell of it, the look of it, the sound of it. All the new guys are talking digital this and digital that. Well, I'm one of the new guys and my girl is still film. I love all of her...8mm, 35mm, Super 16. I don't discriminate. I will love film when she's an old hag and nobody else wants her.
