"You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway." - Walt Disney
โGreat cinema never patronizes its audience. Tell stories that connect with everyone, at every stage of life. ๐ฌโจ
Hollywood thrives on predictable formulas & lazy tropes.
We chose the hard road instead. ๐ฌ๐ฅ
