Is
film commerce or art? On one level, filmmakers have a responsibility to those that provide the monetary means for the
creation, distribution and display of their work; in short, they must fill seats in a theater which has become increasingly
more difficult today with the pressure of opening well during the first weekend and with the advent of home entertainment
which is again a threat - something the size of a theater screen (i.e. widescreen format) cannot solve. On another level,
film is an art form - a statement of our times. Film is successful when it serves both purposes.
