This is me trying to explain what I meant without fully understanding what I meant.
The problem I came upon working within Substance is the following: I find objects that interest me and that I would like to show, but sometimes I don't know what to say. Perhaps they have a history or are part of an important context, but within my narrative, sometimes they sound superfluous, which leads me to a dead end. Moments like these make me feel like the description of the object is for nothing, that it doesn't add anything to the plot or atmosphere. Then I question whether it is even worth the time describing it in the first place.
Paul Schrader is looking for an assistant and describes the position as "crap and ice cream," which can be interpreted as "carrot and stick." The successful candidate must have at least a college degree (even Schrader requires a diploma), have a solid understanding of film history, and be strong enough to carry film reels. The director plans to start preparations for a new film in December. Only those living in New York and the surrounding areas are eligible, so most of us are out of luck .
