Hollywood spent decades deciding who got to become a filmmaker.Now audiences are making that decision. The success of #Obsession and The Backrooms makes me wonder.Did creators spent years learning the one thing Hollywood can't teach?🤔 #FilmTwitter #CreatorEconomy

Why can’t artists afford Toronto anymore?We celebrate the city’s culture, film, music & creativity… yet many artists are working multiple jobs, losing creative spaces & leaving because rent is impossible. A city without artists stops dreaming. #Toronto #Artists #HousingCrisis

The film industry in 2025 feels like a mix of challenges and exciting opportunities. Hollywood’s recovering from strikes and wildfires, but indie films are thriving thanks to virtual cinema. As a creator, I’m inspired by the resilience. Where do you think we’re heading? 📽️🎥🎬 #filmmakers #FilmIndustry #indiefilm
