This is a book of quotations by and about filmmakers and filmmaking. One quotation per page- the quote on the left and right side of the spread will in some way respond to each other. The Filmmaker Says will resemble a dinner party, with a filmmaker from the early nineteenth century sitting next to one practicing today, or two contemporary filmmakers talking to each other, complimenting, competing, disagreeing. Occasionally, a critic will add his or her two cents to the mix.
