I kind of like failure. It teaches us important things, and it’s often more interesting to hear about a catastrophic failure than a brilliant success.
I really enjoyed Sean Hood’s answer to the question, “What’s it like to have your film flop at the box office?” The short of it is that like most endeavours, filmmaking is a group effort that suffers from conflict, frustration, exhaustion, and compromise.
And so while everyone intends to make a really fantastic product, something that they can be proud of, sometimes it just doesn’t work out.
