> what's your take on the dynamic range in over-exposing film vs under-exposing digital?

Depends what you're after and what digital camera you are using (and even which ISO you are using on that specific camera). But more broadly IMO digital has reached dynamic ranges that are "good enough" so you don't have to worry about it in most situations. And if shot correctly digital can look exactly like film.

The major difference for me is the way you work with the material. Actors and everybody else tends to be a tad bit more concentrated when the know how many €/s is running through that camera unless you have an infinite amount of film stock and the funds to develope and digitize them.

But whether that is truly worth the stress of changing a roll of exposed film in the wild during bad weather and praying the material survives is another question.
