Happy New year, Stacey! It is for me as I have a producer for The MicroCosmic Cartoon Show! He is excited about the potantial of the movie and all the spin-offs. He can get the financing and A-list cast. He did a movie with Mel Gibson a couple of years ago and we are pitching it to Mel's production company and for one of the main roles. We shall see.

Your post is most welcome as non USA is very attractive. I made som good contacts at AFM before, so I am excited to explore the possibilities.

All the best for a splendid 2025.

Part of my strategy whether people take me seriously or not as a filmmaker. Essentially why I consume your content; to test which strategies still have utility and which don't, as markets and distribution change. Political and digital borders will come to be viewed more as membranes and less as actual barriers to market entry, metaphorically speaking.

This is partly why I moved and where I'm placing my bets.

Interesting and agree that most production is leaving the US...let alone California. I was reading recently that Sony and Warner Bros are both building studio complexes in Las Vegas. CA is in big trouble with all their lack of Business-Friendly regulations/costs. Most crew members cannot maintain work in CA and are leaving in droves. Times have changed.

Yep, that's all true - crews will continue to leave CA as work continues to dry up here sadly.

Always insightful. Always relevant. Thanks Stacey. Very interested in seeing if/when this prediction comes true how America then will attempt to lure back its filmmakers.

Happy New Year Stacey. It's gonna be a good one!
