“It’s not about being anti-screen. It’s about recognizing that some of the great things we’ve done on the screen have been because we were inspired by something off of it. Our experiences in the world aren’t just fodder for future screen material, though. They are much deeper than that. They build a worldview, a sense for what reality is, which is what contains every point of reference to the things we create. If we spend too much time in the ‘screen world,’ then the feedback loop from source to creation will quickly run out of original material. It’s as if you were to make copies of an image from a copy, rather than the original. Eventually, the image would degrade so badly as to be unrecognizable. Given enough time, it would disappear entirely. Ideas have entropy too.”
