Set Quotes

One small word, a dozen different meanings.

A set can mean a cast of characters who make an ensemble work, a group of priorities a country decides to build its future around, or the specific filmmakers someone hopes to one day work alongside. Each sense here points to something deliberately arranged rather than left to chance.

Readers often bring a different set of criteria to the work based on the format.
