An Open Letter to Hollywood

Hollywood. Go back to making movies with substance and humanity.

Stop with the gore, horror, and apocalyptic themes. That's not what makes us tick.

You have hit rock bottom in our minds and hearts. Too many within your so-called elite circle dabble in the dark side, wholly supported and hidden by you. It appears you thrive on scandals, abuse, and violence.

Hollywood has lost sight of what is real, genuine and most of all, authentic. Your image is tarnished. Even the great Oscar no longer has value to the rest of the world. Not like it once did. Now the movie going public views you as just another fool.

Your customer base is shrinking. Soon, it may be gone. Is that what want?

There are thousands of stories written and published every day. Stories that bring people together. Stories we, your customers, can relate to because they have depth and meaning...and most of all give us hope that there is something worthwhile to believe in. Find those stories and writers, because the ones in your pockets today are giving you garbage. 

Get back in touch with your audience base, the real audience. Ask us what we want.

Go back to making movies that tell us a story of what it's like to be human. To stand strong with our heart and get back up when we get knocked down.

Move us. Inspire us. Lift us up. Fill our hearts with love. Bring yourself to be human again. Bring us movies. Like this one. 

Love requires sacrifice, because it's worth it.

Of messages from the past


Often, I find myself filled with wonder at something I did or wrote, that was lost to my memory with the passage of time.

Thursday evening, I came across my journal from 2021. As I scanned through the pages, one entry dated 9/21/2021 in particular caught my eye.
Seeing it for the first time in years filled me with a sense of delight. I don't remember writing it, what inspired it, or what compelled me to put the thought down on paper. But I'm glad I did. It was a nice reminder that day.
It's been on my mind since.
It is the little things in life that lift our spirit and fill our soul with lightness.
Resilience isn't learned, it truly is built. Funny, how changing that one word, completely transformed the intention.

If I’ve learned anything in life, it’s that you should tell people how important they are to you. Not because they could leave at any moment, but because they’re here now, and it’s worth saying something. ~Unknown.

 

You are important.
