Old is gold for Steven Spielberg

When technological advances are making the process of filmmaking easier, Academy Award winner director Steven Spielberg prefers the "old-fashioned craft" with which he grew up.


The 64-year-old ET director began making movies as a child and believes many people can now make films by even using a mobile phone to shoot something. 
"All kids have to do these days is take their cellphone, flip it open and make a movie, but I like the way it started," said he.

"It wasn't a point-and-click art form, it was a craft. It involved solvents, photochemistry, cutting out poster board with industrial scissors and getting your fingers fused with Elmer's glue. It was all homemade stuff.

If I was a chef, a microwave would be my worst enemy. I would want to do it the old-fashioned way," he added.
