This whole thing with Amazon barely marketing The Edge of Sleep (if at all) really made me think about how indie projects just. In general are treated pretty poorly by an industry that now more than ever wants to play it “safe”. Stuff that comes from unconventional sources or things that aren’t considered mainstream or high brow enough (animation, musical theater, and yes, independent YouTube creators being some of the ones that come to mind) are either scoffed at or set up to fail UNLESS enough people see it or it’s part of a major franchise people know about (see: Into the Spiderverse).

Masterpieces, great art, great storytelling can come from anywhere and anyone.

But we need to fight for the platform so it can be seen by everyone.

my big thing with diversity in film and theater is that it’s nice to see diversity on screen/stage, but what about behind the camera or backstage? and what about the writing rooms? what about the directors and producers? when the cast is diverse but everything behind the scenes isn’t, it just feels like tokenism. and when the cast and crew are diverse but the creators and those with power over the project aren’t, well then it’s just replicating established power structures?

Hey, folks! Prolific independent production company Cotton Candy Flavor Media, LLC. is currently working on its first ever animated film! It’s called “Get Yeast To It”, and it’s a surreal existential dark comedy about a version of the afterlife where humans are judged by cells of yeast based on whether or not they ever ate bread. We’re currently running a crowdfunding campaign for the project so that we can raise the money we need to achieve our yeasty dreams, which is no small feat for indie artists in the midst of this truly shitty time for the animation industry as a whole. If you all could like, share, and donate to the campaign at the link below, it would go a long way in helping us plucky creators succeed— and you could have the opportunity to receive an unpackaged potato in the mail, which we know is really tempting for a lot of you. Thanks, everybody, and let’s get bread-y to rumbleeeeeeee!!

everyone’s always like “there’s no queer representation in media, i never get to see gay characters on screen so queerbait is all i have :(” and then i go to the “have you seen this queer film” blog and most of you have not heard of a single film out of their massive backlog of posts. so uh. start there

i feel like i’ve been WAITING for the other shoe to drop wrt people’s opinions about watcher for this very reason. not that i think the reaction is completely not understandable but the greater the parasocial relationship, the greater the fallout as soon as public opinion shifts. you don’t have a relationship with these people they’re just content creators, chill

Hi Guys,

We finally released our Official Trailer for Prom Queen: the Mini Web Series on Black Cat Film Productions Channel here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXPxHXr5SsY via YouTube

This is "Power".

Power is a short film that follows a transgender high schooler in rural Arkansas who experiences a sharp social decline after his friends out him as trans to the entire school.

Based on the life experiences of our writer, the story begins with a game of truth or dares between three high school besties; Mack, Kylee, and Elisha. During the game, Mack is dared to reveal their deepest secret.

With this dare, they decide to come out to their friends as trans. After this night, Mack comes to learn how easily shattered friendships can be due to the fears and biases that are targeted toward a minority group.

While the film is addressed to the transgender community, our team strongly believes that the themes associated with the film are universal. The film speaks on social isolation based on the minority status of an individual, social stigmatization towards a minority group, social status, and identity as a minority. With this film, we also seek to speak about social alienation as a product of bigotry.

How Filmhub Revolutionized The Movie Business For Filmmakers - J. Horton

Watch the video interview on YouTube here.

[specters]

talked abt the conservative rage against trans people being casted in movies with someone the other day & how they even do this when the actors/characters transness isn't acknowledged in the film/series at all and they were like "i really love when trans identity isn't made into this big thing and it's just treated as a normal way to exist" which like. i understand the sentiment behind and i obviously agree that trans people shouldn't be stuck solely in the very small number of explicitly trans roles but... at this point it doesn't really feel like an acknowledgement of normalcy (when it comes from cis directors), but as a way to not delve even more into the "controversy of transsexuality" and give the image of inclusivity without any of the work

trans people are either portrayed in negative & harmful ways or we are treated as if our transness has no effect on how we move through the world at all and there is hardly any in-between and it's fucking stupid. tbh

Why do 99% of leftists seem to have never questioned their ideas around ownership?

Which is one of the most basic ideas to challenge and still I see almost everyone spread capitalist rhetoric and propaganda, including high profile/educated people
