Excellence takes time. Domenico DeMarco has been making pizza at his pizzeria Brooklyn for 45 years. Margaret Emily MacKenzie has a beautiful little doc about the pizzeria which has been getting a big spike in attention over the past couple days.
Why is this video popular? I can think of a few reasons why it has 20k views already — It’s well made. It’s about a lifetime of dedication. Everybody loves good pizza.

I have always believed that everything (everything) is infinitely interesting, even fascinating, if you let it be. If somebody can get this passionate about soda, I think the world is a better place for it. Sure, he’s more than a little bit crazy, but it’s the kind of affable craziness that lends color to life. Note to aspiring screenwriters (in an attempt to bring this post into line with the proposed subject of the blog): give your character an interesting obsession or strong interest. This guy is a real life Willy Wonka.

This short is a beautiful example of narrative time (a moment is extended into 3 min 40 sec) and some great CG composition with live action in black and white. The short film is by Arev Manoukian at Spy Films. Who funds a project like this?
