Independent Filmmaker Project

Want The Film Look? Shoot Film.

Want The Film Look? Shoot Film.
Tuesday, September 17th, 2013   12:45PM - 1:30PM
Bruno Walter Auditorium - 111 Amsterdam Avenue

In the age of everything digital, why do filmmakers, with all size budgets, still choose to shoot film for their productions? Is it a tribute to a technology from the past or the recognition that only film achieves the organic, emotional look necessary to propel their stories?  From Star Trek to Beasts of the Southern Wild and even truly micro budget work like Daddy Longlegs and The Color Wheel, film continues to deliver the look. Come join the discussion about the myths, realities and latest technical options of shooting a project on film. Sponsored by Kodak
