The network shows have this very commercial voice that you have to adhere to, and the cable shows, it’s kind of like winning the lottery. The independent film world is a world you can actually get to. You can get the under-a-million-dollar film by finding a good cast and financing. – Jill Soloway
There is no prize in sales for second place. It’s win or nothing. The masters know this and strive for – they fight for – that winning edge. – Jeffrey Gitomer
