"I think film as a medium is growing. It’s become so democratized by how many new outlets of distribution there are, and how many new eyes there are on content every single day. Democratization is a good thing." @PhillipYoumans talks to @FilmmakerMag. bit.ly/364ZY0S
"It allows the space for more nuanced, non-commercial stories to be taken seriously and to have a marketplace. Film and cinema, I’m biased, but I do think it’s the best medium there is, period point blank." @PhillipYoumans.

"I think the biggest thing is not living in fear and living your truth. I think I was more afraid, before the film. But now, I’m not afraid at all." @PhillipYoumans. bit.ly/2Jiojqx
"My objective with everything I do is just to humanize, humanize, humanize. I feel like there’s so much that we get in terms of humanizing somebody when we’re allowed to live with them and rest in a moment with them." @PhillipYoumans talks #BurningCane. bit.ly/2ogHHgg
"I always thought that was so fascinating to really have a film be a personal palette of expression. I think that discovery opened my mind up to film as an expansive art form in its own right, outside of just its commercial play to a certain extent." @PhillipYoumans.
"God is destined to forever be a complicated subject for most mortals, yet there’s no question this film has made me a believer in the boundless artistic potential of its creator." @EbertVoices gives #BurningCane 4 Stars: bit.ly/2MF2004
