The fortunate part is: an artist who loves filmmaking, who has poured his/her heart, soul, and money into his/her craft, and who has a story to tell, can make his/her film without the need of a major movie-studio, or wealthy parents, or spending to the limit of credit-cards. The unfortunate part is that someone who has never studied art or filmmaking, and who has no interest in learning about color-theory, chiaroscuro, “Mit out sound,” or mise-en-scène, has the same opportunity.

It is incumbent upon us, the students and lovers of cinema, to create films of such high intellectual and entertaining caliber that we dwarf those who do not appreciate the amount of physical and MENTAL exertion that are required to produce a good film.
