Financing Us: Exciting Possibilities

Yes, I know. I know. I know that the world is in an economic downfall, a spiraling financial crash, and we are on a recession / depression path, but I am happy about it.

Happy?

Yes, I am. I have been hit hard: a constant job is hard to find, my career is not stable, and our credit is not pristine.

So why am I happy?

I look at it as everyone is going to have to redo their lifestyle, rethink their priorities, and look harder at what is needed and what is not—yes, go back to the basics when surviving was the focus, a hard honest days work, not trying to sneak by or cheat—we will still have that but it will not be as easy.

Most people, if they are smart and strong—this is a world where only the fittest survive; nature has a way of balancing itself and sad as it may be, nature does eliminate the weak, the cheaters, and the liars—the strong will look at plots, schemes, things that are too good to be true, because there isn’t anything that is out of the ordinary good that is really good. I cannot believe people have been so stupid thinking there are honest ways of beating the system, and unless you are the one devising the scheme, you are just a victim.

I look at it as all those wannabes in music, writing, movies, actors, musicians, artists, and so forth will actually have to have skills, talent, staying power, and a real desire to be in it for the product, the creativity, the integrity of their craft not for the money.

I am wanting this downfall in the economy to wake everyone up to look at what they are buying, supporting, and using to see if those products and services are truly the best. There are so many knock offs, so many followers, so many crappy ideas that get accepted, used, or listened to. I want the world to have just enough funds, time, and needs that only the strong survive.

Yes, I know, open source is great for this, the competitive competition is great for that, blah, blah, blah.

I just want to weak minded, the schemers that think they can just make a mediocre product or service, what ever it be, and take advantage of the populous. Yeah, I said it before, the stupid will buy into those schemes and there is nothing we can do to stop them. The Yin and the Yan is balance. You cannot have light without dark, good without evil, and quality without crap.

So what is my point?

No matter how bad it gets, unless it is just a total melt down and we go into a state of panic and all heck breaks loose, peolple will still go see movies, rent them, and buy them—we are a people, well a society at this time in our existence, that wants entertainment, free time, and to be heard and seen (the last part is one of our downfalls as a society, MYSPACE, YOUTUBE… But I will save that thought for another post.

So. Investing in our project, is a viable alternative to many things. We stand tall, will defend, and never back down when it comes to our projects, the people involved, and the story we tell. Although a risky investment—one may not get their money back (the movie market is not a guarantee what is popular and what is not), it is still an opportunity to try, to make history, to be involved in something great.

And when we do succeed, you will be glad you took the chance and made a difference in the world—one must always think positive; always looking for the opportunities, the good in the bad, and never quitting; if negativity surrounds oneself, than that person is looking for the negative and will go to it before the positive; one must also have a realistic view by understanding and preparing oneself for the bad news if it hits, it does not hit so hard.
