Every Pixel Tells A Story gets to the roots of the digital film-making revolution. Instead of focusing on the high-profile big budget digital applications used by movie studios, director Peter Hanson shows us a world where the pure drive and determination to make a movie is made possible with the use of these new tools.
I enjoyed the use of upstate New York. A region far removed, both geographically and in lifestyle, from Los Angeles. It gives it a small town feel, making the interviews with the vast array of filmmakers more honest and refreshing. Filmmakers and artists using digital tools to transfer their visions into a viewable medium.
The doc itself feels produced with the same tools it educates us about. The raw intimacy of the digital video brings us closer to the subjects. If there is one area where this doc and digital film-making could use a boost is sound quality. The same can be said for most independent films.
Overall a solid doc that wouldn't have been the same if shot with the high gloss of 35mm.
