You are 100% right. Your advice is on the mark. Everyone told me to avoid making my best work. They didn't know from snippets what it was about. A dear friend, connected to T. Malik said told me avoid it. But it works, it was me and it's authentically my style.

A film made for $30k was written about in the Library of America. https://www.loa.org/news-and-views/2158-the-other-american-gothic-director-cody-knotts-on-adapting-charles-brockden-browns-macabre-masterpiece-for-film/?

I worked harder, cared more, because it was me. I found my niche, 19th century American Literature brought to film. We are already working in pre-production on Hawthorne's The Blithedale Romance.

Thank you for caring and advising someone because you wanted, not because it would benefit you

The world needs more people like that

“Smashing” read, it hit a mark or two - thanks. I thought Lorde’s first album had that ambitious feel to it as well. Such a different sound.
