With A Good Script A Good Director Can Produce A Masterpiece; With The Same Script A Mediocre Director Can Make A Passable Film. But With A Bad Script Even A Good Director Can’t Possibly Make A Good Film. For Truly Cinematic Expression, The Camera And The Microphone Must Be Able To Cross Both Fire And Water. That Is What Makes A Real Movie. The Script Must Be Something That Has The Power To Do This.
