Guys,
Most of us like to watch movies, the problem is that in films, the "Good Guy" who has a gun most of the time is someone who "works for the government".
How often is the "good guy" an average citizen like us?
Of course there are exceptions, like the "Death Wish" movies. The first one was classic, the rest were lame.
The reality is we all should have SOME INVESTMENTS and SOME SAVINGS.
I stress the word savings and investment because what I am proposing is that we do projects to make money.
Hollywood is producing movies that cost a fortune to make and the truth is most of them suck not because of special effects, but because of weak scripts and storylines.
American history provides us with great stories that should be taken to the screen.
Imagine movies about the Collafax Massacre and the Crunshiak case that followed. That isn't being taught in the schools, but it would make a brutal movie.
Imagine a movie about Jack Miller, the bootlegger and wrapping up with the infamous Miller Case in the SCOTUS.
In Clayton Crammer's book, the racist roots of gun control, there is the story of a Black Doctor and his family that defended themselves in Detroit in the 1920s, he was tried by a ALL WHITE jury and surprisingly, he was acquitted.
In 1927 the KKK responded by getting restrictions on carrying guns in Michigan.
How about a movie on the Rodney King riots where we focus on the brave Korean Merchants and we show the LAPD in full retreat.
The NYC blackout of 1977 was another one where the NYPD stood by while merchants were looted. In NYC the only businesses who were in business the next day were those who stood guard with rifles/shotguns.
I saw the results with my own eyes because I was there.
The point is we could take individuals or groups that we need to reach out to, tailor stories for them, and make films out of them.
Don't know if films would make a profit, but even if they lost money, so what.
If you are going to lose money on an investment, isn't it better to lose on something you would fund anyway?
