Mistakes and Art

Today's author is the creator of the hit cartoon Dilbert and author of a very though provoking books called God's Debris, but without further ado, Scott Adam's.

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep."

Too often young filmmakers I know expect to hit it big with their first movie and that everything they make will be perfect. But what I and others tell everyone is that your first movie is going to be terrible and most likely the next few after that too. You need to get out there and make mistakes so you can learn from them, and then after you've made a bunch of mistakes decide which one you're going to keep.
