What is the future of film? Will the slippery slope of flacid and generic comedies and action dramas continue? Or will the current teeny and tweeny boppers enchanted by Zac Efron lead a violent musical revolution in the film industry? I don't know, but we can only hope for the best.
One thing to be hopeful about is in the interest the industry and the viewers have shown lately for "indy" films. The onslaught of films like Little Ms. Sunshine, Juno, and Slumdog Millionaire, to mention a few, are expanding the general public's acceptance of intelligently entertaining films whose value lies in more than their special effects, big explossions, or Hollywood A list casts.
Another important aspect of the new age of film is the availability of studio grade production equipment and editing software to the general public. This combined with the possibilities the internet offers the everyday man in the way of publishing and distribution of their home produced films is expanding the spectrum of creativity and individuality in film. This has given rise to such singular pieces of work as Rennaissance, There Will be Blood, and Special.
So, all in all I think that the future of film is a very exciting one and one that will surely be filled with great stories and glimpses into very interesting paradigms.
