So I threw the rifle out and got on that tree so fast. Now, once it was done, I mean, I was sweating bullets. I said, not again. Not again.

Documentary films offer viewers a chance to absorb a great deal more information about a subject or issue.
changed films instead people
There's going to be a lot of films in there that people are just not going to like at all. That's part of the deal. I don't think it's changed. What has changed is now, instead of 350 people there, as it was the first year, there's 40,000, 45,000.

We don't program (the festival) for commerciality. We program for diversity.
