The Hard Truth: Filmmaking Is Not A Job →

Excerpts:

-“Unfortunately if I sought to get compensated for the work I do, my movies would not get made. If I sought to get paid like normal people are, I never would have been able to produce any of my films.”

-“We live to work, we should not have to work to live — but we do & maybe it is because most don’t realize part one. Reading in The New York Times how 37% of Americans between the ages of 18 -29 are not in the work force, makes me wonder if they are all becoming producers.”

-“I am not endorsing the practice of exploiting people for their labor. Yet, I support people making the choice of using their labor, albeit not at it’s proper value, to deliver the culture they want.”

-“Maybe first though, all of us need to demonstrate that we value and want a diverse and dynamic culture. Maybe we need to work a little harder letting those values be known. We need to show that there are communities throughout this land that love ambitious film and will vote with their time, labor, and dollars to bring it to their friends and neighbors. Paying artists directly for their work will go a long way to making filmmaking a legitimate option when it comes to choosing how to earn a living in this country.”
