      Audience Member First feature movie shot on digital - blown up to 35mm and shown at the Montreal film fest 1998. We told nobody it was digital and nobody could spot it. Now everything is digital. Wish I could get a digital copy but the directors says it's lost in a closet in his house. I should offer to pay for a cleaner to go through the house! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
