Direction
Director Doug Pray pays tribute to the innovative art of DJing in the electrifying documentary Scratch. When he was first approached, Doug Pray didn’t know much about hip-hop DJs. He decided to make the movie after meeting Mix Master Mike of the Beastie Boys fame. Scratch is Doug Pray’s second film. His first, Hype!, from 1996, is about the grunge music scene in Seattle. Scratch follows musicians of another genre, the underground hip-hop DJs whose instrument is the turntable.

Famous quotes containing the word direction:
“When you know what men are capable of you marvel neither at their sublimity nor their baseness. There are no limits in either direction apparently.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“Your Englishman, confronted by something abnormal will always pretend that it isn’t there. If he can’t pretend that, he will look through the object, or round it, or above it or below it, or in any direction except into it. If, however, you force him to look into it, he will at once pretend that he sees the object not for what it is but for something that he would like it to be.”
—James Agate (1877–1947)
“Our vices always lie in the direction of our virtues, and in their best estate are but plausible imitations of the latter.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
