WHAT DO YOU THINK ? Hollywood just got flipped on its head. Netflix buying Warner Bros + DC is huge… and it’s gonna shake up theatrical releases in a big way. 🎥 Here’s the truth no one wants to hear: The big-budget studio pipeline is about to get tighter than ever. Fewer theatrical slots. Less risk-taking. More franchise overload. But for indie filmmakers? This is your window. This is where you stop begging for access and start building your own audience. Because if the studios lock the doors, creators like us just build a new damn house. 💥 Stay scrappy. Stay nimble. Your audience is out there — you just gotta give them something real.
