Going back to one!
Hollywood's renaissance requires addressing its "old story."
​
The film of tomorrow will be an act of love. François Truffaut, 1957
Back to One
For the last century, film have perpetuated four very harmful and specific falsehoods to further an agenda. The agenda: see people as two genders, not one human race.
​
This has cemented limitations into the very cornerstones of our culture. Limitations that restrict the kinds of stories we can tell successfully. In a business of reproduction and mass appeal, this isn't conducive to quality filmmaking.
​
Classical Hollywood Cinema Myths :
-
Men and Women cannot be friends
-
Champion is a gendered term
-
Romantic love is the most important
-
Kids don't know themselves​​
​​
Francois Truffaut once said that great films create a perfect illusion. But some point, the film must pierce the illusion and depict the real. As artists, it's our responsibility to use our tools of illusion to depict our lived reality. We are storytellers, not myth-makers. It's our duty now to create (re-create) worlds where the facts exist:
-
Friendship has no gender.
-
Anyone can be a champion.
-
Love in all forms matters.
-
Kids know a lot more about themselves than we give them credit
​The four film projects we've written are original films steeped in Classical Hollywood traditions, that use the truth as our source material. Help us create the correct the blueprint for future generations to tell their stories.
