SHOOTING FILM
In days before digital, my crew and I would often carry 100 rolls of film on a long trip. We were
“cannon fodder” for incompetent TSA security. One agent insisted we open every package even
though the film was still in the original cellophane. He ripped roll after roll out of the sealed
boxes and threw them into bins, dropping many on the floor. Oops.
It wasn’t until that night I noticed he had put several rolls back into the wrong boxes. My
assistant and I spent quite a while sorting it all out. All the opened packages made us even more
suspicious every time we went through security.
Note: I fought the law and the law won
