I Used To Be a Filmmaker poster portrait Poster — Film Poster

In a tender and playful cinematic eulogy to his infant daughter Ella, Rosenblatt juxtaposes the film industry’s technical terms and jargon with adoring footage of Ella’s emotional, physical and communicational development.

This endearing film is the record of a proud father falling deeply in love with his daughter, and her increasing understanding of how to manipulate his attention.
