So imagine if you've read ten or fifteen books a year, how much stronger,
0:14
how much more informed, how much of a better creative filmmaker or artist
0:21
would you be if you had that much information in your nogget. But at
0:25
ten pages a day, you can learn something. And if books aren't your

1:26
aspects of the film business. How much more dangerous as a filmmaker would you
1:32
be if you had all that information in your head.
