Filmmaking in the 80s

I think there's a good feeling amongst the people from around that period, we were going to festivals together and you'd run into people. You know, Spike and Jim were one of a handful of filmmakers during the 80s who were actually making interesting stuff independently. I'm always fascinated by the comorator and the directors of those seven like that Spielberg, Lucas, Jennifer, Copa, all those guys. A lot of them were friends. They looked out for each other.
