Capitalism is important for filmmaking, but it can be diametrically opposed to creativity as well as making it possible.
• A capitalist rarely invests in the unknown or takes risk without any potential for return
• A capitalist rarely takes a long term view and instead goes for short term gain
• A capitalist mindset works on figures, logic, construction of systems and endless refinement, quite a different set of traits to which artists possess
• A capitalist is unemotional and seeks to hide his feelings. An artist does the opposite
• A capitalist seeks constant growth in terms of market share, capital and property whilst an artist seeks constant growth inwardly in personal ways
• A capitalist venture is not a charity
