"Filmmakers who use narrators pay a price for taking the easy way: narrated films date far more quickly than films without narrators"

- Bruce Jackson

About this Quote

This quote by Bruce Jackson recommends that filmmakers who depend on storytellers to tell their stories are compromising the longevity of their movies. Narrated movies are more likely to end up being out-of-date and less appropriate with time, as the design of narrative and the language utilized can quickly become outdated. This remains in contrast to films without storytellers, which can remain appropriate for longer time periods. Jackson's quote suggests that filmmakers ought to think thoroughly before using a storyteller, as it may restrict the longevity of their film. Storytellers can be an useful tool for filmmakers, but they should be used moderately and with care.
