Shout out to the Peeps

Well today I have totally lost all faith in the world. I'm so sad I'm not even going to bother insulting my readers. I recently read an article that confirmed a movie about marshmallow Peeps will be made…
Now I loved the Lego movie and usually I support really obscure films. Though now things have gotten out of control. The only reason I bring this up is because I am truly concerned for the future of the film industry. As a young filmmaker how do you feel about a film like this being made? Do you think we should focus on more serious things? If a film like this does good in the box office will that inspire more people to make films serious? Now I ask you will you make stories that you want to see or stories that the audience will enjoy? It is very sad to see that some films that have very deep meanings get hardly any money in the box office.

THE FUTURE (continued)

Yo yo what's up brothers and sisters? Guess what today is? Today is the day you waste your time reading my terribly written blog. I'm deeply sorry if you must read all of this.

So now to the topic of the future which we spoke about last time with 4D theaters. Though now I'm finding out there will be AMC Prime and new updates to Imax. Now this all amazing but what happened to the simple love for movies. I feel like this is just an excuse to make huge blockbuster films lacking emotion and any thought from the audience. Now I love the idea of getting a new experience to the film so I am open to it. Though for new filmmakers this is going to be a hard facing challenge. The competition is only going to get harder with this new technology. Also the budgets for films are going to be much larger so if the film flops it can cause a lot of damage.

Also there's no words on how much these new theater tickets will cost. There are plenty of pros and cons to this situation. What if consumers don't buy into these traps and prefer the original feeling of a movie theater?

China Uprising

Hello again... wait never mind who even reads this :/
Today we will be talking about the great empire that will soon be taking over the world in no time. It is quite important to stay alert especially if you plan to be in a business like film. It seems like now every day in the news there is a new story about China. As a young filmmaker joining the business you should study other countries. You must know your market especially for such a huge place like China.

Now if you want to become an actor it might be natural to have some sort of estate in China now. This new uprising in film is worth watching. This can become the new Hollywood leaving us Los Angeles kids in the dust. So I leave you with the question are you willing to make the trip out to China in order to make your audience larger? It is becoming more common for films to have a higher success rate in China then USA. As an actor I would take up the opportunity to go to China but I could imagine that it would also cause many problems. Going from one side of the world to the other can be quite stressful and hard to juggle.

The new emerging China will have both its ups and downs. There is really no predicting what can happen from this point. It is bad for young filmmakers because they can't expand all the way overseas. Though for big budget filmmakers they are probably laughing all the way to the bank. They now have the challenge of both marketing for the US and China. Lucky for them if the film flops in the US they can always rely on China.
Thanks China. U R the bae <3
