“I love to just listen and watch. I could happily watch a security camera at a store. Often during a day I'll see a guy selling pretzels or an argument that somebody's having on a stoop and I'll think, "Oh I wish I had my camera, I wish I could capture this moment." There's something about people being people and interacting that can be so beautiful when it's framed by a camera. That desire to capture people as they are, and the stubbornness to keep going when they don't necessarily want you to capture them being who they are, are key.” PeopleThinkingMomentsBeautifulDesireGuyWishSecurityArgumentSellingKeep GoingJust ListenStubbornnessFramed Author:Marshall Curry
“Most of this film, however, is about interpretation - are these people terrorists or freedom fighters? Are they good or bad? Is cutting timber good or bad? And I don't feel like the answers to those questions are simple, so we don't try to answer them for the audience. I wanted to elicit the strongest - and most heartfelt - arguments from the characters in the film and let those arguments bang up against the strongest arguments of their opponents.” PeopleTryingCharacterFilmSimpleAudienceCuttingArgumentTerroristFighterHeartfeltFreedom Fighter Author:Marshall Curry
