27 days later made alot of money and A liked the film as well. But it was shot in DV. The medium is the message. Using the strength of a medium with a good story will make any thing work, digital or film.

It's the same thing the world over with filmmakers. You have your dilettantes who want everything to look professionally polished and you have your true artists who have a passion for telling a good story. Medium be damned.

To paraphrase Martin Scorsese "You don't make films because you want to, you make films because you have to, you have no choice"

Scorsese once said "kids" can make a black and white film for $10,000 (this was in 1998 during an interview). I took that seriously and made my first film on DV a year later.

I think a certain amount of skill and patience is required to make great films, along with a great cast and crew, and good gear.
