Just an Old-Fashioned Guy – The Digital Journalist

Ron Steinman says:

I believe to reach the highest quality possible in a film there must always be another person looking over the shoulder of the person in front of him or her. That way creativity can reach its peak. One person doing everything is counterproductive. If the gatekeeper arrives only at the very end of the process, then it is too late to fix problems and make a better film. Without a gatekeeper, there is no one to keep the filmmaker honest. Meaning more often than not, the filmmaker cannot see the forest for the trees.
