Words for the day

[Al MacLeod]

"Talent is less important in filmmaking than patience. If you really want your films to say something that you hope is unique, then patience and stamina, thick skin and a kind of stupidity, a mule-like stupidity, is what you really need"

Nice. I'm all about mule-like stupidity

Very true though. Its a tough thing when you wake up in the morning and are pretty sure there's no way in hell a project will ever happen, but its your job to make it happen anyways.

Check out his movie Man of La Mancha. It is a documentary of the things that plagued his production. Talk about stuff hitting the fan? If you have been doing any kind of production work for a while, you have had bad days, so you should understand his pain.
