DePalma on the future of now
Over at Greencine, Sean Axmaker has an intriguing interview with Brian De Palma about Redacted. So it was constructed via the way you discovered [source material], through the video footage and video blogs you found in the Internet? "Yes, that presented the form to me. And I'm very technically savvy. I used to build computers when I was a kid and I'm very interested in the whole computer revolution. This'll change in another couple of years. There wasn't YouTube two or three years ago. There's all kinds of new stuff and people are using it to express how they feel about things. They're performers; they're doing all kinds things and it's interesting to see how it's going to evolve. And I also think, certainly with digital storytelling, it's a new way to tell narrative, to create narrative. I've made a lot of movies and most narrative forms have been pretty much exhausted now. They do them on television, they've recycled every plot and character you can imagine, so now there are whole new ways to deal with story forms that are emerging in these bits on the web."
