A filmmakers (or any creative) doctrine...

The mantra -

The work should have beauty. 

Seek out the beauty. Seek a beautiful idea. Nurture it.

The beauty is not just a wrapper or packaging - it is intrinsic.

The task is to reveal the beauty and then make it shine.

In other words -

Search for the diamond, cut the diamond and then make it shine.

Ask yourself -

Does the beauty reside in the message – in the character – in the narrative – in the idea – in the execution?

The resistance -

Don’t derail the passion. Resist the creative resistance. Shake off the yolk of resistance. Rebuff the intimidation.
