I love the statement that Maya Deren makes about the
Latin origin of the word “amateur.” I personally agree that films should
be made out of love and passion rather than for money or lack thereof. This is
why I prefer making experimental films over other types because of the freedom
and wide range of allowed creativity. Maya really hits the nail on the head
with her article; professional filmmaking drains artistic freedom and physical
freedom. Worrying about dumbing things down for an audience or having to
shoehorn in some type of product placement goes against what I think is the
most important aspect of filmmaking: exploring the art form to its fullest ability.
