"TV's new artistic credibility is making the small screen an alluring alternative for directors, offering freedom from the stresses of financing and distribution that beset any adventurous filmmaker," writes Joy Press in this week's Village Voice ["Out of the Box," August 11-17, 2004].

"According to film and TV director Barry Levinson, 'Movies these days are less and less about characters and behavior. All that's gone out the window. It's television that's taken over the role of capturing the small moments of human behavior -- a role that's been abdicated by theatrical films."
