“After watching ‘Running Shadow’, I felt an incredible feeling wash over me. It was an organic energy that gradually built itself within my being as I sat to watch this glorious masterpiece. If ‘Mothlight’ was good, this film was made by God!! I feel so drastically changed after I saw it, and I simply had to beg to watch the rest of it. Seeing Fulton’s work made me breathe so hard and there were actually times I realized I’d held my breath. It inspired thoughts, ideas and feelings within me. I’d never felt like this before. It was as if I’d entered upon a heavenly state of Nirvana. I released myself and just let the film take me and this journey was magical. There was no part that was ever boring. Ever. After I got home, I went exploring the woods around my neighborhood. It hasn’t been touched since the 1920’s and no one goes there. After being touched by the film, I realized my eyes could see better. I found so many interesting things there, that I couldn’t wait to start shooting this mysterious place with the Bolex. And to think that it’s because of Fulton’s film that I finally got to discover this wonderful forest—which is just in my backyard! Thank you for sharing this amazing film. It’s changed my life forever.”
