People Make Decisions That May Have One

I Think In The '80s, When I Started Making Films, We Were All Suspicious Of These Technologies. We Were All Convinced They Would Filter Out Any Emotion And Sense Of Intimacy, And The Films I Made During That Period Reflected That. In Fact, What Has Happened Is The Opposite. I Think We're Saturated With A Degree Of Intimacy We Would Never Have Expected, And We're Trying To Sort Through This Idea Of Complete Access To Each Other's Lives On An Ongoing Basis. Our Emotions Aren't Filtered Out At All. They're Actually Accelerated.
