If you're doing close up magic, which independent filmmakers do, it is a very delicate craft, interpersonal relationship, and being able to enrapture a very small audience.” IfsAbleFilmDifferencesAudienceMagicIndependentCraftsFilmmakerDelicateInterpersonalInterpersonal Relationship Author:Guillermo del Toro
