Without further ado, LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

From the book, "LIFE IN A MOVIE CLUB":

"What we need most today in amateur movie making is more realism. We need more location shooting. Let us abandon the cradle of movie making that is called home and venture into the expanse of life itself. The cradle is empty; it no longer bears watching. Edison's child has come of age."
~PATRICK H. CAPPELLO, 1970
