Telluride! Thank you! You have confirmed my belief in the continuity of the art of cinema. I no longer think of it, despairingly, as a Stop! Go! Stop! Go! Industry. I have seen love and understanding of what we were once trying to do, when we had the chance. And I saw that the future of filmmaking is in clever and capable hands.
