Why aren't more philosophers directors?

>>79078666
Because why do you need to learn about a philosopher in a visual medium?

What's the point of the visuals then?

Movie about philosophers aren't movies but long youtube videos.

screenplay adaptation when

Ofcourse they can, but the written narrative should be only a tool for the director to deliver the visual narrative, because film is a visual medium.

And I don't see how could one make a proper film about a philosopher without relying on heavy on screen exposition.
