I've decided the most inspiring filmmaker since John Cassavetes is Rolf de Heer (Ten Canoes, The Tracker, Epsilon, Dingo). If there's a filmmaker alive devoted to the belief that some films must happen and he/she is just a conduit for some bigger change, it's de Heer. And the story behind Ten Canoes ( in theaters now) is remarkable.
