The SpringHill Company’s Post

This was my 5th year being a voting member of Philadelphia Film Critics Circle. Every year we communicate via Discord with each other prior to nominating films – discussing stuff we saw outside of the ones being put up for awards season, which we all see via screenings and screeners. We encourage one another to see personal favorites. My big ones were the two docs I saw during BlackStar Film Festivall: INVISIBLE BEAUTY & THE SPACE RACE. Another fav I saw during Sundance from Mexico, that I don’t believe got distribution: RADICAL. And a small indie called SHARE? sent to me by a PR Agent I’d never dealt with before. But ultimately, either you can’t get enough of the other PFCC members to see your picks; or it’s difficult to get the screeners within our time frame; or not enough members are as enamored with your film choices to make a quorum. This is why it typically comes down to the same 5 – 8 movies that every other Critics Association winds up voting on; but this year was a real sweep by both OPPENHEIMER & Our Best Picture Winner POOR THINGS– review will be posted in my personal Top 20 Movies of 2023 List. HERE’S THE PHILADELPHIA FILM CRITICS CIRCLE WINNERS and RUNNERS UP for 2023... https://lnkd.in/ex2F_maG #philadelphiafilmcriticscircle #Movies2023 #filmindustry #awardsseason #awardwinningmovies #Oppenheimer #PoorThings #filmcritic #criticsassociation #films2023

Behind the glitz and glamour of the red carpet premieres and the dazzling special effects, there is a whole universe of hard work, creativity, and collaboration. It’s a world where dreams are brought to life, where stories are told, and where imagination knows no bounds.

As I learned in film school at Long Beach State, Hollywood has always been the U.S.'s most successful and unique export. And the entertainment industry is an integral component of the Southern California economy. This article goes into depth on the challenges faced by the business post-runaway production, post-Covid and post-labor strikes and offers real insight into what must be done for Los Angeles to become the home of Hollywood once again. https://lnkd.in/gv9euPa7

Studios and exhibitors are horribly unaware of how bad the economy is. Lets be very clear, inflation has caused a recession. In times like these entertainment is the first thing to go in a budget. Whether it’s going to the actual movie theater, or canceling streaming subscriptions. Entertainment is unfortunately the collateral damage in an economic downturn. #film #economy #business #recession
