Ran into a person last night working on a feature film. The story sounded interested and I gave him some advice he asked for. Then I asked, what are you going to do after you finish the movie. He said, get it to festivals. We are just doing it for fun. A few days before this I went to an event at the Cleveland Playhouse where they talked about theater and audience and money. This is why The Film Community here is seen as a "hobby or not professional" according to a recent article. It is not the quality of work or the styles. It is because it is not focused on making money. Making money from art does not cheapen its value! Some feel, and I do not argue with them, that "The Godfather" was a great movie. Yet, it also made a ton of money. I will not dare tell the other filmmakers here what to do, but I will say Prelude2Cinema is a business.
