OTOH, Filmmaking As Collaborative Art. AudioHead 08:34:27 08/21/00 (1)
From "From Script to Screen: The Collaborative Art of Filmmaking" by
Linda Seger & Edward Jay Whetmore, page 43: "Frank Pierson's final
comments reflect his vision of what the very best scripts must accomplish as they offer various possibilities in the context of the
collaborative process: 'It is the writer's job to force the director
and actor out of merely reproducing a text and into finding themselves in it, thereby allowing some possiblity of creating art.
The text is meant to be and must be constructed to be interpreted.
This is the true meaning of collaborative art.' "
