black and white portrait of filmmaker Richard Dutcher
“Bad filmmaking is when you think you have the answers. Or storytelling or any art, if you think you have the answers and you’re just out there to tell people the answers, then you’re full of shit. It’s propaganda and it’s going to be bad art. But if you’re using your art to help you explore, to help you find the answers…If you think of yourself less as an artist perhaps and more as an explorer into these realms that you don’t fully understand yet, things that fascinate you but that you don’t really have a grasp on yet, I think that’s really rich and fertile soil to do your work in.” – filmmaker Richard Dutcher Hear the rest of my interview with Richard at: http://www.paulduane.net/2016/11/richard-dutcher-your-art-is-your-vehicle/
