I think art only exists if the artist is alone, if the creator is completely cut off from the world. That's why cinema isn't an art. Art is when you're alone in your room at 3:00 a.m., writing a scene. Yes, that might be called art.
Jean-Pierre Melville (1917-1973)
I tend to agree. Cinema is more a collaborative effort-one where management and diplomacy skills are just as prized as the creative ones. Though sometimes art happens in spite of that.
