For Mark Decena, the decision to shoot with the Panasonic 720p and go the digital
route on his feature debut, Dopamine, was about one thing: having the
time--and tape--to work with his actors. Opening in theaters in October, Dopamine is
the story of a computer programmer whose view of feelings as nothing more than
a chemical activity begins to change through his relationship with a schoolteacher.
Here, Decena talks about what he hoped to achieve with the digital medium and
answers a few of the recent false claims about Sundance.
