RI CHA RD CRUD O, A.S .C.
“ I grew up in the film era – I think
what has prevented most cinemato-
graphers from whole-heartedly
embracing the digital side has
been that they don’t feel that the
digital technology has delivered
everything they’re used to on film.
I believe we’ve actually reached
that point now. We’ve got something
now that’s a major league tool
that’s available to virtually anyone
who can get their hands on it.
This opens up the field to everyone;
everyone can have access to this
camera – which I think, hopefully, will
lead to a renaissance of filmmaking.”
Producer, Director and Director of Photography
of “Max Is Back”
