Narrative Homage

The auteur theory of cinema proposes that directors have styles and they should be recognized as artists much as we might identify the style of a painter or musician. For this project, we run with that idea.

The auteur theory, which was derived largely from Astruc's elucidation of the concept of caméra-stylo (“camera-pen”), holds that the director, who oversees all audio and visual elements of the motion picture, is more to be considered the “author” of the movie than is the writer of the screenplay.Jul 20, 1998
