Maurice Vaughan

Here's one of my favorite filmmaking quotes, James Martin: “Filmmaking is the ultimate team sport.” — Michael Keaton

James Martin

Catherine Mercer

Film making is the ultimate colloboartive project.

Maurice Vaughan

That's a great quote too, James Martin! "Filmmaking is always a collaborative dance."
