The Difficulties of Filmmaking Are On Full Display In Lost in La Mancha

Filmmaking is a tough business. Getting any film off the ground is a tricky affair nothing short of a miracle. If problems aren't arising because of difficulting securing finances, there are issues with schedules, securing equipment, getting costumes ready, the challenges are endless. Whether you're doing a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie or a scrappy short film in your backyard, getting a film put together is an immense undertaking and nobody knows that better than Terry Gilliam. The acclaimed director has made a number of beloved motion pictures, but a number of his prospective movies never managed to get off the ground, or, in the case of a 2000 version of The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, started filming only to never get finished.

In the age of YouTube and Vevo (though aren't they both technically one and the same now?), music videos have seen a modern-day resurgence now that the modern-day music video typically takes cues from the best examples of the artform in decades past as famous artists star in short films that expand upon the themes found in the lyrics of a specific song. In this resurgence, director Mark Romanek, who helmed, has returned to helming music videos after a nearly decade-long absence after directing some of the most famous music videos of the 1990's and early 2000's. Romanek may be most famous for his music video work, but he's also dabbled in directing feature films and his 2002 motion picture One Hour Photo shows he also has skill in this arena of filmmaking as well.
