Sachtler products are well known among film professionals. On the occasion of their 50 years anniversary they talked to 4 filmmakers about their personal views on the future of film. I was lucky to represent VEB FILM Leipzig as an Pioneer of Open Source.
The article will appear in an anniversary magazine on the NAB - lets see if we get feedback. I was hoping for something like this: "Hello? Mr. Kluge, VEB FILM Leipzig? We would like to pay for your next movie. Yes, we won't influence any creative decisions ... no, of course not ... the story is totally up to you. Sure! You are free to release under free licenses ... We thought about a $5 mio budget? You need 7? All right then. I'll send the check tomorrow."
