I was just thinking exactly this today - the playing of text on the screen. I've always loved how much you can do with a title to lead expectations and inform people's experience of a film. And I love how text before and/or after a film can bring out a whole new experience of it. I can't stop talking about videos as films. I am so jazzed about running a private screening for people i know, and then maybe taking it to a larger venue. Maybe my wife Kate will sing with her band, and maybe we can do other fun stuff, too. It's all about the people. YEAH!
