“Michael Haneke. I got this fax sometime in the ’80s. This is from Michael Haneke. He’s asking me how I got the video effects in my second feature, Family Viewing, because he wanted to use that texture on Benny’s Video. So that’s kind of crazy. He’s asking me how I did it, he’s thinking that there’s some complicated process I was using, but actually all I was doing is, I had a cable in my VCR, and I was kind of pulling it in and out to get this grainy effect.”
