going from strength to strength is fun but is only a byproduct of all the work that nobody sees for every minute you see in the movie, there’s one hundred things that had to happen and fit together behind the scenes

intentionality drives bigger picture. analogous to directorship, if you’re just throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks then there is nothing driving the shape of every decision made among thousands. no amount of style will save a movie if it doesn’t come together as a whole
