An article on my Studio and vision was recently published in the paper. As of this posting the online version of that article(http://www.chronicleonline.com/content/lights-camera-action) has one anonymous response. While I'll refrain from a pointless direct counter (though I'll gladly chip in for counseling if anyone would like to join me) I found one comment of particular interest.

I honestly don't recall mentioning cell phones during the interview, nor could I quote how many views YouTube had in 2011. But a good writer researches and rounds out a story. This was masterfully done by Nancy Kennedy in my opinion.

But I'll still stand by what was written, cause it's true and I agree. No matter the medium, filmmaking is about telling a story. And great cinematography is independent of what it was shot on. Heck, up until recently all I had was a standard definition Flip. But as I've also been quoted as having said, "When life hands you a Flip, keep shooting."

So with great fanfare, I present five outstanding films shot entirely on cell phones. Proof positive that blanket statements about YouTube videos are fool's talk. And I'll gladly play the local yokel if that's my part in this dance. Heck, I've drummed in drag before (Cabaret). Yokel's easy.
