“The purpose of civilization and growth is to be able to reach out and empathize a little bit with other people. And for me, the movies are like a machine that generates empathy. It lets you understand a little bit more about the different hopes, aspirations, dreams and fear. It helps us to identify with the people who are sharing this journey with us.”
A lifelong passion for film
From my earliest film memory (Walt Disney’s 1967 “The Jungle Book”), to my college film course at Purdue in the 1980’s, to my current addiction to Turner Classic Movies and The Criterion Channel, movies have always fascinated me.
