Here we bring some insights into how you can get more involved. Despite what is happening in the Finance markets, you still think Fat Cats know more than a co-operative community?

Counters Hollywood :

• Hollywood control the vast majority of movie releases. They control what we are allowed to see. And because it is driven by the blockbusters it often fails to reflect what others really want to see. Hollywood even control many so-called independent movies through their second tier studios. And they often get it wrong. By catering to the volume market they neglect more discerning movie goers. And that’s why truly independent movies such as (Andy to fill in 3 big but critically acclaimed indie movies e.g Juno) have taken Hollywood by surprise So this is your chance to pick a winner that could be both critically acclaimed and a success amongst fans of independent movies.

Fans know more than fat cats :

• Fans know what they like in a movie. Hollywood fat cats only look for what they think will be popular at the box office. This often dumbs down ideas and leaves movies goers with mediocrity. But what fans like in a movie is often what sells to other fans. They may not be blockbusters but independent movies are usually more original and ground breaking than their mainstream counterparts. Have you ever heard that Hollywood changes the endings of films to suit a pre-screening audience (add in anecdotes here). Now there’s directorial integrity! And they are talking to the wrong people. Movie fans can be far more discriminating than the average pre-screening audience. You can now make the choices and get to see the movies you think are great.
