MC: As a personal audience member and programmer, I enjoy a personal vision. Which offers something fresh and yet recognizable to a typical audience member.
CS: It's funny. I think there are people who you just know are going to succeed. They have a certain personality and a certain desire to get things done. And then there are people who are purely talented and don't necessarily have an outlet in their personality to get the right people. If you're not a filmmaker and you think you might want to be one, you don't necessarily have to go to a film festival and meet Harvey Weinstein. Making a film looks easy, but there something that goes into the process that you get a sense of in film festivals.
