HD
film • video • photography
Most of us love motion pictures. While I was always keen on learning how to make movies, it was not until we moved to Santa Fe that the possibility became a reality. New Mexico has abundant facilities, resources, training and a legacy of filmmaking that goes back to Thomas Edison.
In our day, the majority of art is appreciated via the technology of high definition. Therefore it became not just an artistic ambition but a practical decision that made both Phoenix and myself enroll in film school. We have graduate level certificates in film production, and since 2008, have produced several of our own projects as well as worked above-the-line on dozens of others.
Whatever medium of art one has to offer, HD is the means by which to share it. With the help of this technology, our creations can reach the global community.

FILM COMMENTARY
A Modernist Inversion of a Traditional Theme
…this main character’s goal is not to idealize Venus so much as expose her as–as what? I am not sure. Is she a fraud, a groupie, a mere mortal, or a beast? Though it is obviously clear what has been exposed to all concerned in the story, the audience must decide for itself what the master has laid bare.
Being Venus in a Venus Crazed World
The filmmaker has gradually imposed on his audience a hip cinematic predicament, but it’s not our camera, so we can’t be blamed. We are only watching.Right?
The Cult of Venus in Motion Pictures
Few of her modern adherents still connect with her illustrious lineage. Present day folk place are less superstitious and more literal. She’s morphed from The Morning Star into The Ideal Babe, blown up thirty feet tall at the local movie theater.
Man in the Machine – Sci Fi Cinema
Before the Deluge
If machines were evil we’d have to condemn the movies as well. And if motion pictures, in the world of automated things, indeed prove to be among the greatest ones ever invented, then we may yet still learn to thrive in a world of machines.
“Resisting Domestication, or the Reclamation of our Wild Nature.”
Most of humankind huddles closely together over the dividing line between poverty and self-sufficiency and Josh Zeitlen’s lens stands squarely over that fulcrum.
Someone is Watching Over You
In his 1966 film “Fahrenheit 451”, Francois Truffaut illuminates ideas Ray Bradbury laid down in his 1953 science fiction novel of mass media, information control and personal privacy, thus anticipating our current debate on net neutrality by more than 50 years. In...

“we may mention or allude to a thing, but not express it.” Jorge Luis Borges
While we watch this excellent, cutting edge work of cinematic fine art, let’s be open to how Iñarratu’s achievement lets us appreciate the entire collective soul and history of Latin America as part of what we call home.
“The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance.” What more apt headline for our times?
Fame was something Riggin Thomson leveraged his pop notoriety into an illustrious career in the American theater. Ironically, it turns out, the same trick gets entertainers into to politics.

Because What is Hardened Will Never Win
There is hardly a better way, in my opinion, for Americans of average education like myself to obtain an accurate understanding of any foreign culture than by watching world cinema. It gives a far more accurate assessment of our potential relations than the history books or evening news.
“Because weakness is great and strength is nothing”
As a painter does, with darks and lights, or a composer with counterpoint, Tarkovsky amplifies the emotional significance of his subject by portraying it’s polar opposite.
