«In just 2 days, beside a focused technical overview on the digital workflows, DPC 2014 has given me confidence to take part into some key discussions with crew members and post-production providers that I used to delegate to my production manager. And last but not least it has naturally forced me to question myself on major issues (ex. archiving) and on more important challenges (our job as producer, the types of films we produce, how we produce them and for which distribution platforms). Now I've got it: Digital is not just a technical revolution, it is a disruptive phenomenon!»
Producer, Berlin
