I believe one of the most important aspects of any camera is its dynamic range. To be able to capture as much of an image as you possibly can, all the highlights, the shadows, the full spectrum of colors, I mean, after all, the image is the thing. All the rest is just convenience, but in the end, we want our story to look beautiful so that it can come across exactly how we want it to, communicating exactly what we want to share. Dynamic range is kind of an extension of a life, actually, because the better you feel about your process of making the art that you are making, the better your life feels. In any case... The Manhattan Film Festival came to a close after a fantastic week, filled with great stories, from shorts to features, all on a legendary screen in that iconic NYC movie house called Cinema Village. Proud to say, my film, This is the End for Me won a Best Feature Film award, which is incredibly humbling, but at the same time, a great acknowledgement and something to feel good about and to build upon. I speak about it here in this video, I hope you enjoy it. I am grateful to be able to document this moment in my life. Truth is, I almost didn't make it.
