Filmmaking was never the big deal people made it out to be. Vol 008 takes the mythology off it.
For a long time the story was that only certain people, in certain cities, using certain cameras, were allowed to tell stories. Then the gates disappeared. Today one person can write, produce, shoot, edit, score and finish a film from a laptop. Not because cinema became smaller. Because access became bigger. So the real question is no longer “Can I become a filmmaker?” It is “Do I keep coming back to it when nobody asks me to?” Maybe that is all being a filmmaker ever was.
Where films and filmmakers live on.
