Filmmaker Toolkit

Of the many changes affecting movies and the film business these days is the crisis of theatrical exhibition for art houses. To put it another way the crisis today is in the exhibition as well as in the distribution of quality independent films of all genres. The problem is that the small theaters and small art house chains can no longer acquire the films they need to exhibit to stay in business. Larger companies and richer theater chains have now put a lock on movie product that has any chance of “doing business” or being profitable.

This article is the first of many of a journey I have been on about myself, my country, my world and the keeping of secrets. Many of the films we see today are based on the keeping of secrets. Perhaps now we have reached a point in time where so many citizens are frustrated with the information we do not know or are not told, and the sharing of these secrets is making its way into international cinema. As storytellers, filmmakers are compelled to expose the truths, frequently through fiction. These films put global injustices on trial in the court of public opinion. (by Sydney Levine)
