#Noun

I just want to try to write every day.  But its hard to get through this  … I have got a grievance with this stream I am in.

why are movies so important now?

why am I asking this question?

I am asking this question because of the disconnect between the current high stakes economic and cultural relevance that movies hold and the historical or current relevance of its antecedent, the short story.  Although many movies are made from the novel form — in terms of writing the best screenplay is a trifle, a short work where the rule of thumb is 1 minute = 1 page.

Maybe I can accept a new form, not a hybrid or some chemical ratio but a entirely new form that does have elements of photography and the emotionality of sound, wrapped up with the oldest elements of human culture:  storytelling.
