I think the greatest thing about DVD is the quality of sound and picture the real estate to put more extras on and, my favorite point is it stores quietly in very subtle places in your home .

I think documentaries are the greatest way to educate an entire generation that doesn't often look back to learn anything about the history that provided a safe haven for so many of us today.

My filmmaking really began with technology. It began through technology, not through telling stories, because my 8mm movie camera was the way into whatever I decided to do.
