Aspect Quote by Frederick Wiseman

“You have to edit the material. That assumes that some kind of a mind is operating in relation to the material. Not all minds are the same. Every aspect of filmmaking requires choice. The selection of the subject, the shooting, editing and length are all aspects of choice.” quote by Frederick Wiseman — Download Open image
