The person behind the camera and much of the filmmaking process, the director, is often lost in the scale of it all.

This notion may not be true for critics and those who call themselves film enthusiasts, but it is certainly correct for causal...

How Netflix Has Changed the Movie Industry

  When Netflix was founded in August of 1997, few foresaw the massive impact it would have on the film industry and how we consume movies.
