Great Documentary!

This is a really wonderful documentary for anyone interested in Lucas, Coppola, American Zoetrope, or even American filmmaking.

Lucas talks about various things from his early filmmaking days showing that he had a risk-taking spirit and so much passion, innovation, and creativity which enabled him to make so many great films as director, writer, or producer.

It actually saddens me to hear Lucas in this documentary because he used to have all of those things... but he seems to have lost most of that these past 15 or so years.

I remember him commenting on how he stayed up north to work in Marin because it was too wild in San Francisco.

It's pretty much the reason I never moved up to SF to be part of the industry, but stayed south on the peninsula, because when I was working it still was "too wild".

Apparently I'm not allowed to do that... supposedly.
