Episode Description from the Publisher

For his feature documentary debut, director John Wilson takes us into (and far, far beyond) the history of a substance that forms the foundation of the modern world. He sat down with IndieWire's Sarah Shachat to discuss the difference in audience interaction from TV to film, file management, the drone photography epidemic, starting a micro-cinema, filming Kylie Jenner at a party, and much more.
