No Salesman

A few years ago I thought videos like this were the most promising way to explore my interests.  I enjoyed coming up with bits of music and video; I liked writing bits of "poetic" prose; all I had to do was put them together.

But the problem is, I'm not a storyteller.  I'm always impressed by people -- like movie directors and novelists -- who can keep track of the parts of a story, and imagine how they all fit together.

At any rate, this is from year 2000.  Avid TV watchers may recognize the source: a series of Las Vegas car dealer commercials.  I found it on the web before it broke out on cable.  One idea I picked up watching art videos that sample great movies is: it's easier to make something good if you start with something great.
