I loved this article. Christine, you said what I feel in my bones, this will be the golden age of independent film.

Everything you said rings true. It is the reason that we put together an International Studio Without Borders or Walls during the pandemic. We are determined not to just make films that entertain, but movies that make a difference, that can change the world for the better.

I, myself, don't expect to make the great film ever made, or even the most artistic, but I know I will definitely make some of the most important.

We are always looking for people who want to make these important films. Let's make them together.

California is VERY late on the train when other states & countries have made more competitive advances that have already shifted the slate for next year.

IF they chose to invest in making a percentage of that for only indie films (under a certain budget, etc) and more affordable indie permit options, that could be a much better use of the incentive to keep great filmmakers in LA.
