"We have an appalling lack of audience. [...] Everyone is tired of giving thousands of dollars to people to make a film for people to walk out of. [...] There are a lot of people who should have been sorted out a long time ago but haven't been. [...] [T]he answer is getting our material out, making our material as good as anyone else's." (Manter, 20-21) Art film vs. commercial film, distribution, film industry bureaucracy, and the development and institutionalization of a national industry.
