“Until film is just as easily accessible as a pen or pencil, then it's not completely an art form. In painting you can just pick up a piece of chalk, a stick or whatever. In sculpture you can get a rock. Writing you just need a pencil and paper.” NeedsWritingArtFilmFormPiecesRocksPaintingPaperPicksSticksPensPencilsSculptureChalk Author:Forest Whitaker
