Hello my fellow lifeless followers who spend their free time roaming the internet. I have returned this week again to speak about the new California so called 4D theaters. This is great news for those people who are consumers. Though it also brings up problems with new filmmakers trying to join the industry. With everything being replaced so fast the industry will only get more and more competitive. It also brings up the question of what are you willing to do to make a film? Are you willing to get your true story out or just help the masses feel joy? On a consumer stand point I think this is absolutely wonderful. Now we get an even more amazing experience when we go to the movies. We are constantly looking for an escape and this is perfect! Though the interesting thing about the concept of these theaters is to see how fast will they catch on. Will people be willing to pay the extra cash for the experience? It is possible that Southern California may reject the concept of the theater. For now we will just have to wait and see. Stay tuned.

California Taxxxes
Ok my fellow homies today we will be discussing something that is not very interesting but worth mentioning. So read on if you like I honestly don't care...
"The loss of big budget pictures cost California $410 million in state and local tax revenue, 47,600 jobs and total economic output of $9.6 billion"
Now the rise of film taxes has started to become a bigger problem as the years go by. The reason why I bring this up is because there are many young filmmakers I know. It is important to regulate the tax because these people are currently living in LA. It's not so easy to shoot out of state even if it is a bit cheaper. With the power of film we can also help repair the state of California. The film industry is very vital to the state of California.
"The state film incentive program generated an 11% return on investment in its first three years and helped generate $4.3 billion in economic activity and 22,300 jobs"

Thanks China
Today we will be talking about the sudden rise of the box office in China. Now that China plays a huge role in the film industry do you think it is possible that Hollywood will direct more films to that audience? Will more Asian actors be in films? As a student director will you try and make your audience bigger or stick to your original vision. What matters to you box office numbers or the meaning of your film to the audience. Do you think that now we will see more Chinese films being produced? Possibly more Chinese directors will start to rise up in USA. Do you think that it is possible that China will take over the film industry? As a student director would you move out to China for box office numbers or better success rate?
