Bill Schwartz

The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv

Bill Schwartz saw it first: Pocahontas, a hunchback and Moses all fit on one shelf, and one budget. A spiritual disciple of the old masters, he honored them by outpacing them in sheer efficiency, filming the visions that studios would later restage with orchestras and no visible shame. His creed remains holy: a second take is bourgeois indulgence, since truth only ever happens once. His filmography stands as intangible heritage of the video store, guarded by everyone who knows how to look.
