Sayers founded Straight 8 in 1999, a Super 8 filmmaking competition. The format opens cinematic possibilities but comes with strict parameters… This film is about doing things differently,\u201d according to background information on Super Nature. \u201cDue to the limited film reel, the filmmakers had to be more intentional about their shots. People relished the opportunity to use a Super 8 camera, often for the first time, to attempt to capture some of the world around them through such a uniquely emotive and tactile format”…<\/em><\/p>\n
