Several years ago, Steven Soderbergh forwent the usual indulgences in his Academy Awards speech.

"I want to thank anyone who spends part of their day creating -- a book, a film, a painting, a piece of dance, a piece of music -- anybody who spends part of their day sharing their experience with us," said Soderbergh. "I think this world would be unlivable without art."

His words sum up the reason why this website exists. Romanstyle Films is here to add to the world of creativity. Please join us.

A Final Report to the Rotary Foundation
"Ask a Simple Question"
by Joseph Gaines
"There is a supreme power which human experience possesses, a capacity to enrapture a listener when told by one who was subject to tumultuous events, by one who was there - and lived to tell the tale, as they say. I am of course not speaking of myself, but of those among whom I lived for a year."

"Bluescreen!"
by Matthew Dyer Marshall
"To get proper exposure, the crew set up 11 10,000 watt tungsten lights. The resulting 110,000 watts of light was so bright, the camera assistant had to wear welding goggles each time he marked the shot with a slate."

"Cyclorama!"
by Matthew Dyer Marshall
"The point is that I'm awake at four am to get to the corner of my house and the belly of the N train at ten minutes till five. I really, really tried to go to bed early. And I did, but my body didn't want to go to sleep until midnight."
