Film Journal 2/24

I wonder what it would be like if high tech video equipment weren't so expensive, and the only thing that stood between a film student and a career in film making was talent?

I guess in this idealized world you'd have to have cheap lighting solutions, as well as cheap editing software... and from there it just gets fairly ridiculous. Which is a shame... because I think given the proper equipment, many people could make beautiful, poignant, and entertaining films-- if only they were given the proper equipment.
