mediocre filmmakers don't read
Advice from Werner Herzog to aspiring filmmakers:
Read, read, read - you have to read because you develop a sense of storytelling,
you develop a sense of flow of something, you develop a story,
even if it's completely remote from what you have read.
All of a sudden something sprouts out of it, maybe it will pop up
as something similar as a dialogue, maybe it will pop up as a sequence somewhere,
and this is something completely overlooked.
I see film students from very prestigious film schools.
Nobody of them is reading, they just don'r read.
And they will all be mediocre filmmakers at very best.
They will never make a great film.
And you can tell some of the truly good great filmmakers
they all read.
