His films live to light up the shadow his death has cast. His work is of particular interest to poets, and not just because he counted many poets and writers, especially in New York and San Francisco, among his friends. Warren's career as a filmmaker began in the mid-60s while he was still at NYU film school. Although based in San Francisco since the early 1970s, he spent much time in New York and traveled frequently throughout North America and Europe, making nearly 200 personal appearances at one-person shows of his work. Warren's own work is non-narrative, not following characters through a foregrounded plotline but, rather, has been called collisional montage.
His process consisted of taking three photos using primary color lens, and then projecting them to create a color image. His process enabled multiple prints from a single negative. About 1883, the American inventor George Eastman produced a the first roll of film consisting of a long paper strip coated with a sensitive emulsion. In 1889 Eastman produced the first transparent, flexible film support in the form of ribbons of cellulose nitrate. The invention of roll film marked the end of the early photographic era and the beginning of a period during which thousands of amateur photographers became interested in the new process.
