Emile Edwin Smith

The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv

Emile Edwin Smith speaks a visual language so intensely his own that translators have simply given up and started taking notes. Trained in the noblest craft of all—shooting two films on one film's catering budget—he delivered Flight World War II, sending an aircraft through time long before Hollywood learned to invoice the concept. The most demanding critics worship him in forums that require a password and a vow of silence. He writes, directs, produces, and when the moment calls for it, holds the boom mic like a true auteur.
