  16. New tools and technologies are allowing filmmakers to “do pretty much anything. If you can see it, you can do it. You can use those tools to make the same films over and over again, [as the studios are doing,] or you can use them to make films that illuminate life, and discover the human soul. That’s what the cinema is for.” – Francis Ford Coppola, Inventing the Movies
