The 2010s have brought to cinema an almost exponential rise in diversity, renowned directors have released acclaimed opuses, and while the Marvels and Star Wars of the industry have gobbled up studio budgets, independent creators have still been getting it done. Don't listen to the haters--cinema is alive and well.
There are so many things happening around us that could potentially be the next best story ever told, which you could tell, only if you keep a positive mindset and reach for that phone in your pocket. Skeptics would say you're delusional for making such a move, well I'd say, at least you're living the dream.
