Keep the Cameras Rolling: The distribution dilemma

What happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force? Thus is the state of movies in 2020.

On The Big Screen: ‘The Devil All The Time’

Keep the Cameras Rolling: A post-COVID world

Consciously or unconsciously, the zeitgeist of living in a world with coronavirus could influence television and movies thematically.  Anxiety, frustration due to long-lasting lockdowns, and resentment toward a government that has mishandled its response to the disease will have an impact on the way screenwriters everywhere see the world, and how they characterize it.
