Very good !
30 June 2017 | by marshgrey – See all my reviews

Nice series. Long list of great director, relevant chapters and good editing. The interviews are well done and the directors seem comfortable and happy to talk about their work. It's nice to see passionate people like this. The episode are 26 minutes long but I think they could be longer. When I watched the episode with Wes Craven, I really wanted more.
