"I Think This World Would Be Unlivable Without Art"

In the wake of a tepid Oscar telecast and the mass media channels becoming flooded with fashion and gossip centered content, I thought I'd point my fellow indie filmmakers to some powerful words.

To this day, it remains one of the more memorable speeches and reaffirms the validity of our artistic drive.
