INT. PRESS CONFERENCE ROOM - DAY



The flicker of film.   Footage from a press conference.
                         GUIDO

            You kill your film several times,

mostly by talking about it. A film is

a dream. You kill it writing it down,

you kill it with a camera; the film

might come to life for a moment or two

when your actors breathe life back

into it - but then it dies again,

buried in film cans. Mysteriously,

sometimes, in the editing room, a

miracle happens when you place one

image next to another so that when,

finally, an audience sits in the dark,

if you're lucky -- very lucky - and

sometimes I've been lucky - the dream

flickers back to life again. That's

why I'm secretive.
