Paying Attention to What’s Really Happening

Beyond genres and beyond the craft, I’m paying attention to the business system itself.
Take Hollywood specifically. If you work in story, you already know something is off. You may not have a settled name for it yet. You just know the rooms got quieter.

Los Angeles still looks like Los Angeles on a map. On the ground it feels more like a soundstage after wrap: empty lots, delayed starts, people who used to staff entire departments now selling coaching packages, AI “director” courses, and independent-film services from their kitchen tables. Students are still paying tuition to enter an industry that no longer has a clear front door. Faculty are teaching the rules of an old system, pipelines that used to lead somewhere.

Working writers are rewriting the same spec while watching Silicon Valley treat the carnage as a market entry.

The old machine did not vanish overnight. It thinned out. It fell out of relationship with an audience that was waking up faster than the product line. Remakes, nostalgia loops, and franchise maintenance kept the lights on while the creative middle hollowed. A lot of talented people did everything they were taught and told and still found themselves outside the building. And for beginners, there is no clear path. If that is you, you are not obsolete, unlucky, or imagining things. And it’s bigger than just Hollywood. We’re all standing in the gap between a collapsing material world and what gets built next.

Aside from calling “it” Hollywood 2.0, this timeline out of the old and into the new needs some type of container, a name. I’m settling on The Storymaker Economy for now.

The Storymaker Economy is for people already in that gap—the ones who can feel this shift is not a rebrand, a cycle, or a bad fiscal year. We have not been here before. It feels tectonic because it is. Planetary. Galactic, even, if you have the stomach for how real that sentence lands before coffee. For screenwriters, filmmakers, students, and the teachers watching them try to invent a future with yesterday’s map, the realization is the same: next will not appear until we build it.

We are not here to romanticize the wreckage or to pretend Hollywood never made anything worth loving. We are here to be useful and real about what comes after the old gatekeeping model stops being able to employ, greenlight, or hold an audience’s attention.

I want to join up with artists who feel this and may even have a plan of their own. Simple as that.

A Refreshing Twist with a Centuries-old Genre

A couple of years ago I was invited to a dual-event yoga class and book discussion featuring local self-published author Ashley Manley. She’d just caught the attention of a film producer interested in adapting her book, Every Beautiful Mile, as a Netflix original.

Romance novels hadn’t been my thing in a very long time, and I really don’t care for stories that might wallow in tragedy’s grief. Still, I registered for the event, bought the book, and was pleasantly surprised to find myself with a genuine page-turner. Ashley had exactly the right recipe for handling the tragic death of the protagonist’s husband. I finished it over a weekend and couldn’t wait to meet her.

When it was my turn to share, I told Ashley what I loved most: no character or family unit felt BROKEN. This holds elements of a multi-generational story with no villains, no betrayals, no mistrust, and no misplaced or gratuitous sex. Protagonist Nel Crawford’s parents are Key West-quirky interesting restaurant owners—sound, stable, and insightfully supportive of her. Her kids experience the natural struggles of teenagers who have tragically lost their dad, not the culturally manufactured ones of drinking, drugs, or surreptitious detours into prolonged despair. Both find believable, refreshing paths through grief back toward wholeness, each in their own way, even as their mother struggles under the accumulating weight of daily life.

What unfolds about her husband in the early chapters is that Travis Crawford was one of the good ones—a devoted husband and father. Nel’s retrospective sense of a “who could ask for anything more” life draws the reader into real compassion, almost making you wish the story could be rewritten. Then, at just the right moment, we get drawn into what comes next for Nel, something she herself begins to set in motion with a simple email and a sturdy decision to set course for travel and new experiences.
The book’s own description calls Every Beautiful Mile a beautiful novel about starting over in life—one that will make readers laugh, cry, and remind them of the healing powers of nature, family, and love itself. Every bit of that is true.

But my musings here are less about a book recommendation and more about the impact of one author cleverly bending the rules of the modern romance genre formula. Writers and readers alike have been convinced for years that we need those spicy shadowy plots and characters—and especially the racy sex scenes—before a book or screenplay will “be good.” Ashley Manley is a self-publishing author. Would her book have been scooped up by a traditional publisher in its current state? I can’t say. What I do know is that she worked with an editor who offered a few essential tips on how to light the story up more, and I came away with a clear sense that self-publishing gave her the space to write the story she actually wanted to write.

I buried the lead a bit, but when I’m speaking to writers and filmmakers outside the industrial complexes, this is the point I want to make: detach from the machine whose exclusive foundations can no longer hold.
Detach for a while from the current vision of what success means. Jump in with confidence and faith and make your story. Make your film.

I’ll admit this is easier for me because my sole motivation for this work is that I’m a lifelong cinephile who got sick of Hollywood programming. I yearned for films and stories that finally had the guts to pull back the curtain on Oz, break the illusions, and point us toward unlimited possibilities for our future. That old adage whispered - if you want something done ...

So if you’re a writer or filmmaker leaning forward to what's promisingly trending towards a new paradigm in storymaking and filmmaking—let's connect here.

@DannyManus Love that Danny, thanks for taking the time to respond.

Unfolding the Layers of Epigenetics:

I recently started flirting with the idea of a newsletter, so I did what most of us do—typed a few prompts into an AI search to figure out the best tools and approach. Within hours my inbox and feeds were flooded with every platform, coach, and “pick us” pitch even remotely connected to the idea. The noise was loud enough that my original clear intention got drowned out. The irony is that my topic sits in a space that may eventually make a lot of that old digital-marketing style obsolete. What’s fascinating to me is the why behind that obsolescence.

I understand the historical tech-progression of marketing genres well enough, but what’s more relevant right now is paying attention to the energetics of what’s actually happening, not the noise. From that, I can sense where things are headed. So can anyone. What are you paying attention to?

My working life has been one of continually evolving vocations—from sales and marketing in tech, to consulting with startup entrepreneurs on growth, to owning and operating a frequency-medicine and bodywork healing center. Now, fully retired from the industrial cycle of work-for-money, I’m stepping more fully into writing (books, screenplays, magazines) and sharing mostly unwritten ideas about this remarkable time we’re living in.

Seemingly unrelated, the core thread that has invisibly connected all of these different work paths for me is epigenetics. I know that word can sound lofty or like it only belongs in biology and quantum physics, but the way I experience it is simpler: the systems, experiences, and even the stories we live inside carry frequency and energy that shape what becomes possible—not just in our bodies, but in the bigger systems we’ve built over the last few centuries, whether that’s business, education, government & law, money, medicine, technology, or culture.

Those systems are clearly shifting right now. It feels to me like a wider rise in consciousness is underway, and I’m mostly interested in how we can participate in it more consciously instead of just reacting to all the noise.

So now I work in story. Not to become a singularly performative storyteller, or a storykeeper who mainly holds the wisdom of the past, or even someone who works in story primarily to earn a living. These magnificent times call for Storymakers—writers and filmmakers who are reclaiming their attention from the tired industrial genres of Hollywood and publishing and leaning forward.

If seventy years of industrial storytelling could shape so much of culture through the lens of struggle and scarcity, victims and violence, betrayal and greed, the inverse is now wide open.

Storymaking can work as a living, regenerative template instead—ease and abundance, freedom and harmony, love and generosity, with light, conscious craft, humor, and a sense of human sovereignty. It’s less about performing the old plot lines and more about untethering from them so we can model and build what comes next.
Where’s the tension, you ask?
Just hold onto your quills.

I just wrote a chapter in my new book that researches recent book adaptations to streaming series by Netflix, Prime, and Paramount + that reveal their clear agenda: General Patterns Observed Across Platforms:

Race & Gender Changes: Frequent swapping or race-bending of characters (especially secondary/mentor roles) and gender flips.

Sexuality Enhancements: Consistent amplification of explicit sex scenes, plus additions or expansions of homosexual, bisexual, trans, or non-binary characters/arcs that were absent or minor in source material.
Tonal Shifts: Move away from source material’s original emphasis toward darker themes, trauma exploration, identity politics, and hyper-sexualized content —
These changes are passed off as common in contemporary adaptations and are typically framed by studios as “updating for modern audiences.” In the context of Project Looking Glass / convergence narrative, they can be seen as mechanisms that force certain narratives while potentially diluting or redirecting the original story’s energetic focus.
But why?
To distract collective humanity from the light—keeping attention fixed on low-consciousness loops so fewer souls lean forward and cross the bridge into the Golden Age of Consciousness?
One illustrative example is Netflix’s recent presentation of Little House on the Prairie. The original books by Laura Ingalls Wilder and the 1970s television series centered on family life with strong Christian and frontier values. Netflix’s current promotional language for the property describes “fear, language, gore, smoking, genuine danger”—a dishonoring story departure from the original source.

Your conspiracy statements on The Clarity Act are 100% false.
Digital currency is moving onto blockchain. The new platform - Web 3 Ethos - removes the banks that are between you and your money and removes technology co.'s that are between you and your data. Puts humanity as direct 'owners' of their money and their data.

@newstart_2024 Everyone is so platformed with coining the problems, but not so much with solutions. "We can't solve problems with the same level of consciousness that created them." That's the true definition of insanity. Lara Logan is playing the game of insanity, too.
