I got into film because I was spectacularly mediocre at everything else. I loved art and performance, but wasn’t much of an actor, was a pretty bad keyboard player and couldn’t draw at all. When I got to try out filmmaking at an NYU summer high school program, it was the first time where the things I made vaguely resembled the ideas I had in my head.
That doesn’t really explain why Robot & Frank had to be a film, except that in my hands it would have made for a really cheesy song or an even worse painting.
