Every Pixel Tells a Story
In this documentary about low-budget filmmaking in upstate New York, you'll learn how affordable digital-video technology has changed the lives of the artists behind action flicks, monster movies, nonfiction stories, and comedies. "Every Pixel Tells a Story" introduces viewers to a wide range of independent filmmakers, all of whom prove that with a little ingenuity, access to the right technology, and plenty of tenacity, filmmakers can still practice their craft 3,000 miles from Hollywood. In fact, "Every Pixel Tells a Story" is an example of what can be accomplished on digital video. Producer-director Peter Hanson shot and edited the movie in a matter of weeks using a camcorder, a computer editing system, and a $30 microphone from Radio Shack, all while spending a fraction of what the documentary would have cost had it been shot on film.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
The acting in this movie is really good.
Every Pixel Tells A Story gets to the roots of the digital film-making revolution. Instead of focusing on the high-profile big budget digital applications used by movie studios, director Peter Hanson shows us a world where the pure drive and determination to make a movie is made possible with the use of these new tools.I enjoyed the use of upstate New York. A region far removed, both geographically and in lifestyle, from Los Angeles. It gives it a small town feel, making the interviews with the vast array of filmmakers more honest and refreshing. Filmmakers and artists using digital tools to transfer their visions into a viewable medium.The doc itself feels produced with the same tools it educates us about. The raw intimacy of the digital video brings us closer to the subjects. If there is one area where this doc and digital film-making could use a boost is sound quality. The same can be said for most independent films.Overall a solid doc that wouldn't have been the same if shot with the high gloss of 35mm.
