This is a Reflection on Maya Deren’s Amateur Vs. Professional

"...one who does something for the love of the thing rather than for economic reasons or necessity." 

As an amateur filmmaker, I of course have read this article before. This mode is my favorite because I am able to do what I want for the sake of art as opposed to having to follow others' artistic or monetary goals. This is a form of filmmaking that is produced solely as art, which I believe is what film should be.  The emphasis on movement it so important to the film medium, and the modern blockbusters lack that sorely. Shot-reverse shot is my enemy. Working to a schedule , designed by someone else, is my enemy. I really think that the best filmmaking is that done by the individual, when their creativity is there in every aspect of the process.
