5. * Opening Statement
So many brilliant minds and
exceptional talents go unseen.
The film industry somewhat suffers from lack of creativity. Hollywood and the casting system provides a very narrow
view of talent, leaving studios to produce sequels and remakes simply because they work.
There are many filmmakers and performing artists, who are exceptionally talented, but simply do not have the
connections, support or resources to produce their films. As a result, so many brilliant minds and exceptional talents go
unseen.
