You must live life in its very elementary forms. The Mexicans have a very nice word for it: pura vida. It doesn't mean just purity of life, but the raw, stark-naked quality of life. And that's what makes young people more into a filmmaker than academia.

Film is not analysis, it is the agitation of mind cinema comes from the country fair and the circus, not from art and academicism.
