Style
Like the subjects she choose, Spiro’s style of filmmaking is considered innovative and “off-the-grid” by her peers. Spiro articulates her philosophy of filmmaking in an article for The Independent Film and Video Monthly, "The Medium Is The Missed Age". Spiro argues that key to good video is not the lines of resolution or the number of pixels or the particular camera used, but an inventive and resourceful use of natural lighting, camera movement and composition.

“I would observe to you that what is called style in writing or speaking is formed very early in life while the imagination is warm, and impressions are permanent.”

Style upon style in dress and thought at last
Must get somewhere.”
