Average # of brushstrokes in a painting: 20,000

Average cost of an American feature film: $65 million


If we translated the cost of one opus attributed to a single filmmaker to one opus attributed to a single painter, the cost per creative unit of action would be $3,250!


Who dares experiment, innovate or attempt to advance the form on any kind of significant scale at such a perilous rate? This is what filmmakers are supposed to aspire to?


Stay small. Preserve your integrity. Keep the heat.


(Art by Joseph Ducreux)
