In 2006, Woods Hole Film Festival featured a tribute

I got a chance to talk with him for a few minutes

pushing the medium of digital video. In this video
he gives some great advice to new DV filmmakers,
and explains once and for all 24fps setting on your camera.

Morrisa Maltz – Girl Space
Another great piece from Morrisa Maltz, whom we first showed here last week.

I mean that entirely positively – the content & tone are clearly different but there’s
something of the same dynamism and confidence in working with very diverse materials
in both artists.
