The Unmade Film

I think that many people are out there living with a big idea.

Watching the movie they’ve never made. Reading the book they’ve never written. 

The problem is this: It’s not any good for the rest of us.

Children cannot live in the orphanage that was never built. No one can laugh at the joke that was never told.

It’s only when we do the sweaty work of creation that it actually counts. 

People can’t be moved by the unmade film.
