Blogpost 5:"Good Film Nowadays"

In today's generation it is evident how film has raised it's value in the market. Every month there are genres of new movies being shown, sequels of stories and even unseen directors cut. Surely, this has kept us viewers hyped to pay and watch just to keep us entertained but on the latter part we forget to give attention to other works of film. One particular idea that I'm stating is Independent films. 

Independent film is known to be a professional film production resulting in a feature film that is mostly produced outside major film studios. One great thing about independent films is that it's distinguishable by the content and style that it has in which the personal artistic vision of  the film makers are shown and realized. 

According to an article that I've read entitled "More Is More in Independent Film." written by Tim Wu on newyorker.com He stated why we need so many Indie films and Who exactly gets hurt if too many indie movies are made? People doesn't want indie so many indie films, they focus on consumption rather than curation- He also stated that "making lots of films to yield a few hits is not dangerous to independent film but exactly how independent film sustains itself."

I personally agree with the statement said because other  people watch films that are too vague and yet they get payed and what's worst is the one's that are worth watching are the ones neglected. How ironic, isn't it? 

Another article that I've read is entitled "Is VOD the Future of Independent Film? Yes -- and No." by Paula Bernstein. In this article it was stated how Netflix Chief Ted Sarandos criticized theater owners for resisting the idea of day- and - date releasing of films and claiming that theaters are going to "kill movies" if they continue to resist multi - platform distribution. 

He also stated "I do wish more theaters would be open to supporting day and days of releasing indie films". As an artist and hoping to be in the film industry someday I agree to the idea stated. Why would you be hindrance to showing good film? is it because it will cause you money and you're gambling whether it will hit the market or not? That's sad if you think about it, more people are into what's new that to the idea of what a film and what message it's trying to convey. 

Sometimes people neglect the true beauty of art and they don't give other people a chance to put something on the table that they can be proud of. Through that you are already putting the spirit down of aspiring filmmakers and I'm one of them. As I take on the path of being an artist I'll make sure that everything I do will be my best and not settle for anything less. Why would I stay on the path of being mainstream when I know for myself I can make a difference.
