"Every Pixel Tells a Story" explores how inexpensive digital video has empowered independent filmmakers in upstate New York, transforming their approaches to action, monster, documentary, and comedy films. The documentary profiles a diverse group of these artists who demonstrate that with resourcefulness, accessible technology, and determination, filmmaking is thriving outside of Hollywood. Notably, "Every Pixel Tells a Story" itself was produced and edited by director Peter Hanson in weeks using readily available equipment – a camcorder, computer editing software, and an affordable microphone – spending significantly less than a traditional film shoot would have cost.
