They\u2019ll put the camera in a different place in the room. And I think that\u2019s really exciting.

They get one at-bat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added, \u201cIt\u2019s 11 people. [If] each of those filmmakers turn this into a feature. And let\u2019s say they work with 100. And then those 100 people go on and work on another project that they\u2019ve never worked in that capacity [before]. In a very short amount of time, you\u2019re amortizing an entire groundswell of people that would never have had the opportunity and it started with 11.
