Film is, to me, just unimportant. But people are very important.

John Cassavetes
About This Quote

The world of film is an industry filled with people who are very important. Many of the top filmmakers are very famous. They are often called directors. This is not an award that they win, but rather a job title that they are given to explain their work to the public.

But more than being a director, these people are actors, producing companies, editors, storytellers, and many more roles. The most important part about film is the talent of the people who work on it.
