More From Huston Smith

I'm not a master. i'm a student-master, meaning that i have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but i'm still learning. so i'm a student-master. i don't believe in the word 'master.' i consider the master as such when they close the casket.

If i'm ever working on a set and anyone talks about a master shot, i say there is no master shot. before i even went to film school, i learned about movies by being in a british feature film, where everything was shot master shot, mid-shot, close-up. but i reject the idea of a master shot. you don't shoot everything mechanically; you find imaginative ways that serve the action.
