"To me, length is an artificial and arbitrary factor in a film"

Frank Darabont, a prominent filmmaker, thinks that the duration of a film must not be the main concern while creating a motion picture. According to him, the length of a film should not be an artificial or approximate element that identifies its quality, material or worth. Darabont suggests that focusing on the length of a film might distract from other elements such as the storyline, characters, cinematography, and instructions, that are integral to a film's success. He implies that it's the content that matters and how well it's presented to the audience, and not necessarily the period. For that reason, it is vital to focus on creating an appealing narrative and meaningful material, rather than merely extending the runtime of a movie.
