He says that the most important job of a filmmaker is to be able to tell the story of the main character. He talks about how many movie directors today are only concerned with the money they’re making and not about the art. Rothman describes the tension that can happen between scriptwriters and directors. He ends the interview by talking about film festivals and the new popularity of independent filmmaking.
