It seems your previous page was a Film Festival and a curious click has led you here.
We are pretty happy about it. Check how we promote Cinematography and Filmmakers.

Cinematography
"A cinematographer is a visual psychiatrist, moving an audience... making them think the way you want them to think, painting pictures in the dark."
"Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities... much more so than music or language."
"You make the movie through the cinematography - it sounds quite a simple idea, but it was like a huge revelation to me."
