Sticking to the Dream

Cinema sometimes feel like a dream. In reality it is a result of the screen play writers', directors' and producers' dreams composed and formulated and constructed for your entertainment.

There is always a formula being employed. Some work gloriously and others fail miserably at the box office. However our local cinema is dominated by Hollywood film formulas, Bollywood shines through but not as much as Hollywood while Nigerian films are gathering a local cult fanfare in the local DVD market in trinidad and tobago.

But local filmmakers are starting to come up. I may not see a local film take American or foriegn Cinemas by storm any time soon but it is a dream myself and almost all other local filmmakers share: to tell our stories on the world's silver screen. We just need the right formula.
