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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
