I think - I don't know, maybe it's nostalgia. But the choice, losing the choice to be able to use film is going to be - it's gone. It's going to be gone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I bristle a little when the argument for film gets put into the nostalgia ghetto. Film is still the highest quality and best-looking image capture medium available. I don't think it always will be. The digital image will get better, and it will eventually surpass the quality of the film image, but it isn't there yet.
I think part of the reason ideas haven't come in is that the world of cinema is changing so drastically, and in a weird way, feature films I think have become cheap. Everything is kind of throwaway. It's experienced and then forgotten.
I have a preference for film just because of the familiarity. It's what I know, and I sort of have nostalgia for it.
I'm sure some people will say, 'Why do this?' And my response is, 'Why wouldn't you?' The film business in general is using a model that is outdated and, worse than that, inefficient.
Once the film is out and a lot of people are seeing it, it becomes almost owned by the cinemagoers of the world.
I think it's the director's prerogative, not the studio's, to go back and reinvent a movie.
People are scared to make something that doesn't look like another film that made a lot of money. It means we get 'Four Weddings And A Funeral' made again and again.
There's no more film; now everything's digital. I welcome this. It's fantastic for me to have a new chance.
There's no more film. Film is gone. We photograph digitally and electronically. We don't really use film the same way anymore - it's disappearing little by little. Things change. We have to change with them. There's no point in liking or not liking it. It is what it is.
I feel that film is inevitably the medium of the future. It has been for years, decades, but more so now than ever.
