The most difficult challenge I faced was in convincing people to believe in me and the vision I possessed. Even when the film was happening, there was no one besides my wife who realized or recognized what I had accomplished and what I was doing. People did not even know what they were a part of. Otherwise I think it had been dismissed as just a job, or a dalliance. Another challenge I faced was dealing with the many people before, during and after this project that have been in a position to help and have refused.
Cinema is a very expensive art form.
That was a nice metaphor and compliment but the only thing I think I share in common with Mr. Speilberg is probably his passion for film. Let's talk about personal visions. I realize that art is a reflection of the times and one of the duties of an artist is to reflect the times. This is quite evident at the theatre. Unfortunately, I see too much glib talk between characters we really do not care for.
