If The Inspiration Is Genuine And It's

The Director Is The Most Important Because, Ultimately, As An Actor, When You Watch A Movie, It Looks Like An Actor Is Giving A Performance, And They Kind Of Are. But, What's Actually Happening Is That An Actor Has Given A Bunch Of Ingredients Over To A Director, Who Then Constructs A Performance. That's Movie-making.

Normally You Read A Screenplay - And I Read A Lot Of Them - And The Characters Don't Feel Like People. They Feel Like Plot Devices Or Cliches Or Stereotypes.

The Sun Is Such A Lonely Star. Whenever He Comes Out To See His Friends, They All Disappear.

I Think, Honestly, That The Word 'indie' Is A False Gimmick. 'independent' Used To Mean A Movie That Was Financed Outside Corporate Hollywood, But A Lot Of What Gets Called Independent These Days Is Totally Produced Within That System. And There's Nothing Wrong With That.

If The Goal Is To Get The Best Artists, Actors, And Filmmakers In The World To Create The Best Movies, Hollywood Does A Decent Job. And I Think No One Would Disagree With Me That It Also Makes A Ton Of Bad Movies And Employs A Bunch Of Hacks.
