coen brothers. alexander payne. they should be supported. they were0's, supported.do not feel it is that way now. i may be speaking out of turn for them. i do feel there is a struggle for even the most moderate budget picture to be made. and if you don't get it made and people do not see it, there is always that problem of distribution. there are pictures you do not see any they go straight to video. of course now, ultimately, pictures will be shown through satellite. all kinds of platforms. which is great but it is this period, george lucas was talking about it, and 10 years is going to be the dark zone. we do not know where things will land in terms of how they will be presented. same time, thinking about the technology, you are in love with film. >> yes. yes. >> he did this movie on film. >> nothing for dailies or anything? >> i did shoot digital at night. we can't like the streets anymore. it takes too much time. the cameras are good. >> so you combined film and digital. to sit here, his enthusiasm is great. >> absolutely. >> after all of the films and achieveme
