"Filmmaking is that rare and wonderful art form that exists within the present, yet transcends the future for those who practice it as the glorious thing that it is…For it captures both light and time forever, transforming these things into story…and by this, we effect all of man’s senses, reaching into the depths of soul and spirit to question, challenge, affirm, and yes, even change one’s thinking. Filmmaking. What an amazing, and holy thing it is!”
