INSPIRATION

“A Film is a Petrified Fountain of Thought.”

Jean Cocteau

PASSION
"I believe that filmmaking - as, probably, is everything - is a game you should play with all your cards, and all your dice, and whatever else you've got. So, each time I make a movie, I give it everything I have. I think everyone should, and I think everyone should do everything they do that way. " Francis Ford Coppola
PURPOSE
"Filmmaking is a chance to live many lifetimes." Robert Altman
