I'm working on bringing the instant film camera back as part of the future.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am intrigued enough to want to continue, and also to try and work with companies like Sony on modifying the cameras and making them more user-friendly and efficient.
I've always been interested in the camera and the effects of it - that's what drew me to film in the first place.
I carry a disposable camera. It takes me back to my childhood, when you had to develop your film and wait to see what pictures you got.
I've been trying to do films for years. So I've decided to wait until the next good part comes along and develop a record on my own in the meantime.
I even agree with the new digital ways of filmmaking, where you don't even have physical film in the camera, but to be honest, I wouldn't want to use it.
As the years go by and I make more films, I am increasingly interested in capturing place as a vivid backdrop for my films.
I started making little films with a 16 mm camera as an undergraduate at Yale. My first job out of college was 'assistant editor' on a forgettable low budget feature.
All my film ideas and subjects have come from photography.
There are times when you're working with film people when you have to say, 'If the camera were on you, what you're doing would be perfect'.
I grew up loving films and making stupid movies with a good friend of mine, who now actually has a career in a really prominent special effects house, so he's still doing it. We just started messing around with a camera.
