3 things I wish every indie filmmaker knew BEFORE shooting their first feature: 1) Get script clearance BEFORE production. 2) Talk to a DISTRIBUTOR before you shoot. 3) Get QUALITY gallery stills of your talent. There's tons more... But these three make a massive difference!

I remember Michael Bay saying similar about shooting digital over analog film in the early 2000s...
Guillermo del Toro says he'd "rather die" than use artificial intelligence, "particularly generative AI," in any of his future films: "AI, particularly generative AI — I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I’m 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. … The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I’d rather die.'" variety.com/2025/film/news/g…

Major update, #AI 'assisted' works with 'enough' human creativity are #copyright eligible. Lots of vagueness here, but this definitely compounds the speed at which AI will impact the #film + #TV #production, #screenwriting & #distribution realm.
Interesting bit of the US Copyright Office latest guidance on AI and copyright - prompts alone are not copyrightable, but a combination of AI editing steps can lead to work where "the output should be copyrightable" (!)

Don't forget the inflation... (Still, analysts are optimistic about media growth in 2025--and so am I).
Even though there’s still $2B-$3B missing in the post Covid annual domestic box office, 2024 is coming in at an estimated $8.72B, -3% from 2023’s $9B See how the major studios fared in the last 12 months: tinyurl.com/4juk4d47

Great thing abt #christmas movies is they're scalable. The stories/plots are the same but budgets can be $200k to $10M depending on cast / 'Our Little Secret’ Trailer: Lindsay Lohan Faces Off With Kristin Chenoweth in Netflix Christmas Comedy variety.com/2024/film/news/l… via @variety
