IVNBO CFJOHT That distinction gets lost much of the 5IBU EJTUJODUJPO HFUT MPTU NVDI PG UIF time, according to local filmmaker David UJNF BDDPSEJOH UP MPDBM mMNNBLFS %BWJE Meiklejohn. .FJLMFKPIO "People talk about this as a concept, i1FPQMF UBML BCPVU UIJT BT B DPODFQU but meeting these students, working with CVU NFFUJOH UIFTF TUVEFOUT XPSLJOH XJUI them, is just a reminder that you can't UIFN JT KVTU B SFNJOEFS UIBU ZPV DBO U make a sweeping NBLF B TXFFQJOH generalization about HFOFSBMJ[BUJPO BCPVU an issue like this," BO JTTVF MJLF UIJT w he said.

SFBMJUZ PG UIBU NZUI BGUFS UIFZ BSSJWFE w Then it was Meiklejohn's job to help the 5IFO JU XBT .FJLMFKPIO T KPC UP IFMQ UIF student's visualize their ideas on film.
