The same instinct.
Different surfaces.
The set taught me to define the outcome and let the craft find the path.
I bring that same approach to software. Direction and engineering are the same instinct pointed at two surfaces: work out what the thing needs to do, then build the way there.
Film came first. The tools grew out of the work. The ideas and people keep it moving.
