I'll reply to your email next week, it's quite busy around here. But for now, here's another great Carney quote: "I do a lot of interviews, and I frequently get asked the question of where is independent film heading? What trends are there? I always answer the same way by saying that it is an illegitimate question. It treats art as if it were like advertising or politics or Wall Street, as if it were a matter of demographics or trends or business cycles. The truth is the opposite. True artistic creation is solitary in its essence. It is not done by a group but an individual. It is one heart speaking to one heart. And it doesn't ultimately depend on funding or support groups or government grants. (Though those things certainly don't hurt!)"
