The more commercial work that is happening, the more people are operating cameras and are setting up studio lights, the greater the opportunity for drama production to happen.

The tensions are always based on financial resources. Something like film is very problematic because it is viewed as an art form and also as an industry with a pure commercial base.

We are the only state that does not have a State Film Corporation there to support the commercial industry.

The dichotomy between art and industry is totally dysfunctional in terms of film.

You have always had individual directors who begin in the advertising or commercial world, but they are probably exceptions rather than the traditional pattern.

Any new producer starting up is to get investors' confidence. Investors are still very very wary of anything to do with the arts world.

They will open up to what I would call corporate broadcastings where the non-commercial material will have air time. There's no possibility of that here right now, none.
