Almost by accident (I don 't believe things like this happen by chance, however), I discovered the screenwriter, Mark Sanderson, when I watched his Lifetime film Mother of All Lies.

Therefore,in order to bring some attention to this talented guy (and hopefully give some press to his upcoming book…

Without his gasp of surprise and look of sheer terror, the scene would not have been as powerful as it was. You also cannot forget the way Hitchcock uses the camera to depict how high up Scottie is.…

In the opening sequence of the 1979 film, Apocalypse Now, the technique of double exposing film is used repeatedly. The origins of the technique date back to early photographers in the late 1800’s and the technique was translated into filmmaking very soon after the birth of cinema.
