I have a project now that deals with the mental health industry. It focuses on people who are psychologically on the edge, in a very tense and highly controlled environment, and access has become an extremely difficult issue. As a result, I'm planning to shoot it exclusively on DV, as my first DV project. For Kopple, while digital may be here to stay, she's in no hurry to see it take over completely. And whether on film or digital video, there is still no substitute for craft.
Good films are tough to make.
And that won't change because of digital video.
