The Upton Report v2.6

I love the pace of old movies…I find them relaxing. We’ve become so accustomed to flashing images, point of view changes every 10 seconds, panning cameras, etc. that when the camera stays still and dialogue lingers, it’s calming.

The Upton Report v2.5

The original intent wasn’t to just blast you with advertising for our stuff…it was actually meant to be entertaining! We collected double…
