We're a mere blip in history. Many of the artistic mediums that are dominant now weren't as little as a hundred years ago, and with technology progressing so fast, they'll likely change again on a much shorter timeframe. Here we attempt to take stock of photography, cinema and other forms of storytelling at this moment in time, assess the outlook for them, and think about where the world of art/storytelling/whatever-you-want-to-call-it may be headed.

We also touch on his work with, and the work of, Martin Scorsese.
