Why not?
I think it is important, especially in today’s age of mental absence and escapism, to make art that matters. To do so you have to have your intentions in the right place. You have to be curious about the mysteries of the universe and humble enough to appreciate the annoying parts. I don’t think all art is supposed to be likeable or marketable, it needs to move.
I think film and music are intertwined because of the inability to roughly define what they are. In simple terms, they are simply records of something incredible once done, that is all we are trying to do. Make incredible happen and move on to the next thing.
