The end is nigh. As soon as the legality changes and these AI generated "works" can be copyrighted and determined original woks/IP, there will be more motion picture industry. We won't have to worry about runaway production, when production itself is obsolete.

The motion picture Industry collapse deepens, especially in the USA.....

Comparing production weekly listings over time, as I type, the lowest number of productions thus far sampled.

Aug 2021 to Apr 2024: (respectively)
39 pages vs. 30 pages
161 vs. 100 TOTAL production listings (38% drop)
105 vs. 38 DOMESTIC production listings (64% drop)

Aug 2021:
- 56 (35%) International and 105 (65%) domestic productions.
- 105 US vs 24 Canadian productions (4.38:1 ratio)

Apr 2025:
- 38 (38%) International and 62 (62%) domestic productions.
- 38 US vs 32 Canadian productions (1.19:1 ratio)

So 2/3 of total listings with stated production locations were US-made 3.5 years ago, now 2/3 are foreign-made.
In Aug 2021, for every 8 productions made in Canada, 35 would shoot in the US. By Apr 2025, For every 16 productions made in Canada, there were only 19 productions shot in the US. That's a devastating swing in the ratio between the countries.

The series, about a resurrected bounty hunter working to save his own soul, mixes crime, horror, comedy, and music.

I was the 2nd Unit DIT for "Red One," now streaming on Amazon Prime. This got a lot of shade online, but after watching it, I don't really get it - I've seen WAY worse. I've worked on WAY worse. This is a solid, fun, different Christmas movie. Yeah it's busy and the action is over the top, but I was expecting this to be SO much worse based on the online reviews.

The mission to save Christmas is on. Watch the new trailer for now, and see it only in theaters November 15. Follow RED ONE on social:https://ww...

Cool story and loved meeting and working with a bunch of new-to-me folks in Louisville. Coming March 2025.
