Cinema Quote by Roger Ross Williams

“When I was in high school, I felt totally alienated from the world, but I loved movies. They were my escape, but coming from a disadvantaged community, I never knew that filmmaking was an option for me. A program like School of Doc would have been a game-changer.” quote by Roger Ross Williams — Download Open image
