Random Thoughts…Production in This Economy

Two months into the new year, new film projects dominate the focus. I have a number of filmmakers with some dynamic projects. In this economy, it seems the smaller budget films are now in the forefront. In the past month and a half, investors are starting to hold on to their money more tightly. So, making smart niche films which appeal to specific audiences and turn a profit are the key for the next two years, at least. Also, since distribution companies are paying rock-bottom prices, small personal films flexing a filmmakers creative muscle seem like the smartest bets right now.
