Re-thinking why you make films

Ok, I know I promised to take it super-easy, but this article found its way into my inbox. I wasn't able to post it all here, so I left the link below.

If it's making a living making films, then this guy is successful. But if your definition of success is flying in a private jet and having people kiss your ass, then, well, why are you making films again???
