We are devastated by the passing of 3x NBA Champion and beloved broadcaster Stacey King.

@_motherslug I'm so glad Repo Man is having a moment. It's been my favorite film for a long time

[old man paul @allisonargented]

one thing that irks me about modern cinema is that everyone looks like they live in an airbnb or hotel none of that shit feels like a lived in home but throw on the most random 90s movie and you won't have any doubt that a character has spent most of their life in that apartment

[NYC Indie Filmmaker Sujewa Ekanayake @sujewafantastic]

a lot of rich and famous people who want to make fiction features don't do it for the same reason that poor people don't - fear of rejection, fear of criticism, which is tied to fear of death. making art is psychologically difficult. pro artists/filmmakers do it regardless.

[Chris, from Chris @UpdateTheGrids]

creating art is difficult. Getting it out there in front of people, even with resources, is deeply embarrassing. It just is what it is.

[Justin Stillmaker @JustStillmaker]

@marshlands Is it our Streets of Rage movie?

[Video 📼 Mayhem 🎞🛸🥷🤖🎟 @GenreManiac]

Johnnie To had the 2000's locked down, he was straight up embarrassing other action directors.

[John Squires 🎃 @FreddyInSpace]

I personally feel that the Markiplier/Iron Lung experiment more closely resembles the potential future of truly independent cinema than anything else this year. A future where creators can cut out the traditional middle men & self-release their own movies to success in theaters.

[COSMIC 🖖🏾 SLOP @afrocosmist]

big IP movies are out, weird fucked-up shit made by young people with Dante's Inferno levels of concentric social trauma is in

[Chad Meisenheimer @ChadMeise]

Filmmakers talk about what they can do for 500k and I’m over here knowing I can make something really good for 50-100k. Now getting that is a hard sell with the economy, etc.

[Jonathan Demme Dickrider @decoyrobot]

Films aren’t made for the working class vs upper class, they’re made for people who care about art vs people who want happening while they date or pursue coexistence

@marshlands Next week we start outlining

[Justin Stillmaker @JustStillmaker]

@yunclesage Happy to show you my cyberpunk action movie that is really about the annoyance of needing a job and frustrating co workers

[shea @sheanorling]

what should happen:
- studios promote young new directors
- smaller budgets
- less CGI, AI
- real movies produced with care, made by real people

what will happen:
- inde navarette funko pop
- OBSESSION cinematic universe

[Me @KirkWrites79]

To get TV gig you need an original pilot, film script or play. And nowadays, you probably need two. There are thousands of original scripts that studio execs love that still are not being bought. This idea that writers are scouring through old crates gotta stop. It’s not reality.

[All Things Movies @ThatMoviePage]

Studio comedies from back then would put modern streaming looking movies to shame lighting wise.

[Beyond Fest @BeyondFest]

This is the most significant weekend in the film industry in over 30 years. Emerging generational talent has forever shifted the paradigm.
There is no turning back, there are no rules, chaos reigns. It is glorious.
