The Democratization of Film 2.0

Apr 16, 2009

There’s a holy grail out there, I just know it. Okay, I don’t know it. Might be a myth. Maybe it doesn’t exist. Even if it does exist, there are likely forces that wouldn’t want it discovered, not to mention revealed to the world at large. Or maybe they’d simply prefer to use it to their own nefarious ends, like the Nazis and the Lost Ark. Even if some modern...
