Side by Side Trailer
Side by Side is a documentary directed by Chris Kenneally in which Keanu Reeves (who also produced) talks about film and video with a wide variety of filmmakers, including Steven Soderbergh, James Cameron, David Lynch, Richard Linklater, Martin Scorsese, Andy & Lana Wachowski, Christopher Nolan, Walter Pfister, David Fincher and many, many more.
I’ll be honest, I kind of feel like Soderbergh in this trailer. I love film, I shot my movie on film, I love the look of film, but honestly, it’s been maxed out. Where else can you go? You can’t do 3D, it isn’t instant. As much as I love film, I want to call it up and say, sorry I’ve met someone else.
You can quote me on this when I say 3D and digital film making is the way of the future. Film will still be around, but I don’t see shooting a movie digitally as being this evil, lower quality way to shoot something. I can’t wait for this documentary, I’ll probably wait for it to come out on Blu-Ray as to not seem like a huge nerd running to the theater to see a movie about Film vs Digital.
