How to approach entertainment in the new year?

I see new things happening with film, TV, books, and stories in 2025. The basic idea of storytelling will probably remain the same—the act structures—but without an agenda-driven orientation. However, I foresee many industry rules being broken to achieve success. Creativity in how things are done will be of major importance in 2025.

An Old Idea

An Old Idea


I woke up this morning thinking whether I should piece together a new story or film idea, or sort through my old pile of scripts collecting dust. I found a short film script I wrote a few years ago. The script had a fun title, in a genre not often used anymore. The genre fits perfectly with 1980s comedy films like *Revenge of the Nerds*, *Porky’s*, *Joystick*, *Spring Break*, *Hot Dog*, and *Fast Times at Ridgemont High*. I would love to work on the project—I have a feature film treatment for it, but only wrote the script as a short for several reasons. It’s good that a cup of coffee and a script can help bring back good times.


If you like that genre of film or are looking for a script to shoot in that genre, contact me.

Pre-production Meetings

I have had several meetings this week, from casting to production, with each meeting being for a different project—meaning different production projects. Each one of them had its own interests and disinterests, and they also had predicted problems. Some things never change on film projects, and over time, other things change too much. In short—after doing this for a good while, you learn when to drop some projects before they ever start.

A Stand Still

I love directing and producing films, but I feel the independent film scene is at a standstill—at least in the location where I like to make films. If you make short or independent feature films and are being productive in the area in which you live, please email me at contact.coffeehousefilmproducer@gmail.com 


Thanks,

Two People, One Room, Conflict, Short Film Script

 I wrote a six-page short film script. I was trying to prove a point and make it artistic. I'm sure some people may or may not like it, but I felt it was not passive and would keep someone's attention in the story conflict. 


Thanks,
