In a day and age where anyone can make a movie and put it on the Internet for everyone to see you would think there would be better movies being released at your local theater, but not everyone has caught on yet. If producers of major film companies were to turn to the Internet and small film festivals, there might be some legitimate movies that have depth and substance. You say that some of the film festivals are producing some of the horrific movies being shown in our theaters now ad while that may be true, those festivals had the right idea, once. In the beginning of festivals like Sundance and Cannes the idea was to show good films that were not produced by big companies and had no big names. Now a lot of actors think it is “hip” to star in an independent film so that they might be taken more seriously. And if you ever go to Sundance you will see stars going into large tents that are filled with “swag” or really expensive merchandise celebrities get for free. But if there were new festivals that resorted to the bones of what Sundance and Cannes used to be the direction of film would not be headed towards the toilet.
