Where do you stand on Streaming Services and their place in film?
Streaming services are taking away the cinematic magic, it takes A LOT to convince people to attend the cinema. Films should be presented in 35mm or 70mm to make them special again. The DCP format isn’t really magical, as we are essentially watching television on the big screen.
We really need a Film Twitter definition – what is yours?
A commmunity of cinephiles to create discussions, most often controversial.
A Film Buff asks you for advice starting a Website / Podcast – what do you tell them?
Be persistent. Never give up. Find your own voice and tackle it head on. It may take several years to breakthrough, but you’ll eventually get there with determination, patience, and the like.
