If you love your craft there will be passion. Most of my films are with people who are really passionate about what they are doing and know how to do something well.

Chris HegedusMy favorite film is "Meshes in the Afternoon," a short avant garde film directed by Maya Deren. This was the first film that I saw that was actually directed by a woman.
