Shot on 70mm IMAX.
The heist, "caught on film", had texture and warmth and an indescribable aura of authenticity that it would have lacked had it been shot with digital cameras.

I like your analysis of Yud and less wrong.
I wrote a whole series of short stories and novellas based on the acasual boogeyman that gets you by just lesrning about it. Its such a great example of a modern curse.

the second one with white clouds on blue sky feel like a Canadian Group of Seven painting. Lovely.
I’m dutch, so I’m destined to paint epic cloudscapes. We don’t have mountains here but at least we do have dramatic skies! What do you prefer: stormy or serene?
