Interesting Article on a new form of Filmmaking
here is the link: Mumblecore
From the article:
"Despite a record-setting, recession-proof box office, the movie business has lost its middle. Blockbusters, based largely on toys and comic books, which can be turned into hugely lucrative franchises for the studios, have all but replaced movies aimed at a smaller and perhaps more discerning audience. In the recent past, the studios wanted their slates to contain all sorts of movies at different budgets, but today certain equations seem to dominate. Will the movie have a star attached? (Add $20 million to your cost.) Will it play around the world? (Add a no-English-necessary action component.) Will it appeal to the widest possible audience? (Meaning, males 18-49.) "
Thanks Mary Lea. It has started me thinking...
Thinking about making a chapter a week on the "Sandwich" project... just toying with the idea... any comments?
