“When we sit, we open our own treasure house. Rather than do this, however, most of us first seek to find the treasures another person can provide. We calculate their value to us. When we approach relationships in this manner, we are coming as beggars, seeing the other as a source of supply.

“The bigger problem still is that it determines in many ways what movies get made in the first place. Because as sources of finance are considering a project, they ask themselves, "Does this lend itself to a simplistic marketing approach which will guarantee a big opening weekend?" As a movie-goer, I think that's tragic, because when you look back at those movies that made us fall in love with movies in the first place, most of them were not high-concept, and most of them would not have "won their weekend."” ThinkingWayFirstsLooksDoeMadeStillsProblemBigsFallAsksSourceProjectsApproachConceptsBiggerFalling In LoveMarketingDetermineOpeningFinanceGuaranteesTragicWeekendConsideringBigger Problems Author:Curtis Hanson
