HDE: How does 3D production become the standard in production, and not a niche market? Vince: There is a risk that the market goes too quickly and terms like “commercially acceptable” are used as guidelines. Every project we undertake triggers more development and improvement. Beware of the “brochure selling” of 3D where magical solutions to every challenge are offered. The rollout of 3D needs to blow people away. Anything less, such as “commercially acceptable” is a cop out for 3D and will forever keep it in the niche market. If the medium for 3D is not quite commercially ready, we must have the strength to say so and wait until development catches up with quality. Amortization of the added 3D cost must be realized over a platform that maintains an immersive experience. If the delivery method fails to immerse the viewer, we are forcing 3D back in time. - Ori

"For the past five years I have served as the Director of Creative Development at DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa) and The ONE Campaign, two organizations founded by U2's Bono (along with Jamie Drummond and Bobby Shriver) that advocate for African justice and poverty issues. There I worked to succesfully introduce global poverty and health issues into popular and independent film, web, music and television productions before leaving to start work as an independent consultant in August, 2008." - Ori

we’d be loath to admit it in this day and age, but ask any soul-baring 40-year-old single heterosexual woman what she most longs for in life, and she probably won’t tell you it’s a better career or a smaller waistline or a bigger apartment. Most likely, she’ll say that what she really wants is a husband (and, by extension, a child). - Ori

i hate to think this is actually true. of course, i've already been there, done that, even though i'm not 40. but i think will vary geographicall, by your dominant social group and what you're really going to want out of life. - carla

"This is the ultimate effect of the new awareness: It brings back the dynamics of small-town life, where everybody knows your business. Young people at college are the ones to experience this most viscerally, because, with more than 90 percent of their peers using Facebook, it is especially difficult for them to opt out." - Ori

"Getting off oil was the key, he decided. But how? He started by looking at cutting energy usage in the home, then moved to a more tempting target: transportation. Was hydrogen the answer? What about embedding power in the street—like slot cars? Could more be done with biofuels? Agassi kept a running file on his home PC and began working on a series of white papers. The problem, he decided, was oil-consuming, CO2-spewing cars. The solution was to get rid of them. Not just some, and not just by substituting hybrids or flex fuels. No half measures. The internal combustion engine had to be retired. The future was in electric cars." - Ori

Still, despite my many disagreements with The Power of Nightmares, which sometimes has the feel of a Noam Chomsky lecture channeled by Monty Python, it is a richly rewarding film because it treats its audience as adults capable of following complex arguments. This is a vision of the audience that has been almost entirely abandoned in the executive suites of American television networks. It would be refreshing if one of those executives took a chance on The Power of Nightmares. After all, its American counterpart, Fahrenheit 9/11, earned more money than any documentary in history. And what Curtis has to say is a helluva lot more interesting than what Michael Moore had to say. - Ori

"Perhaps the true motivation behind this deliberate nonchalance is an attempt to attract the attention of the ever-present party photographers, who swim through the crowd like neon sharks, flashing little blasts of phosphorescent ecstasy whenever they spot someone worth momentarily immortalizing." - Ori
