Will WFCN disrupt traditional studio systems entirely?

 

For over a century, the traditional film studios have been the gatekeeper of films. These big-name film production houses have made countless classics and blockbuster films.

But behind this glamour lies a complicated system with limitations. Here, World Film Communities Network or WFCN, a new concept that promises to revolutionize filmmaking and film festival entries just by bringing all features under one umbrella. But will WFCN entirely dismantle the established order, or will it find a way to coexist with the Hollywood giants?

 

The Traditional Film Studio System:

The traditional film studio system has served us well, financing countless films and shaping filmmaking history. Major film studios act as the bank, film distributor, and film marketing muscle. In return, they take significant control over the filmmaking process, from choosing film scripts to casting film actors and overseeing final edits. While this system has brought us great films, it also has its downsides:

Limited Voices: 

The high cost of filmmaking often restricts the types of stories that get told. Film studios tend to favor projects with mass appeal, which can sideline unique and diverse voices with niche filmmaking styles.

Creative Control:

 Aspiring filmmakers often have to give up filmmaking control to film studios, potentially compromising their filmmaking vision in the filmmaking process.

Financial Pressures: 

The pressure to deliver box office hits can lead to standard films and suppress innovation, prioritizing profit over filmmaking merit.

 

WFCN (World Film Communities Network):

World Film Communities Network or WFCN presents a different pattern for filmmaking, offering exciting possibilities:

Empowering Diverse Voices: 

With funding from the film community, filmmakers with unique stories can avoid traditional film studio systems and bring their filmmaking visions to life, enriching the filmmaking landscape with a wider variety of film genres and perspectives.

Creative Freedom: 

Filmmakers can have greater filmmaking control, resulting in a wider variety of films and filmmaking experimentation.

Fairer Profit Sharing: 

The community-driven filmmaking model allows for fairer profit sharing. WFCN offers 100% transparency and a strict no-commission rule, so that filmmakers receive a share of the film's profits; ensuring filmmakers are duly rewarded for their work.

Direct Film Distribution:

Completed films can be streamed or downloaded directly to film viewers, bypassing traditional film distribution channels and maximizing profits for filmmakers.

 

Will WFCN Replace Studios Entirely?

While WFCN is a steady force, it rather will work with a completely different approach than the traditional film studios. Here's why:

Big Film Budgets: 

Film studios will likely continue to dominate big-budget films with their massive resources. But WFCN will work for the filmmaking control of the filmmaker.

Marketing Muscle:

While film studios can focus on budgeting and supporting with film distributions, WFCN can propel a film to global film audiences. It will lend the marketing strategies to reach a wide film viewership and film streaming platforms.

 

 

The future of films is likely to be a collaborative landscape where film studios and WFCN co-exist. Film studios can leverage WFCN to discover fresh filmmaking talent. WFCN can provide a filmmaking platform for independent voices and innovative filmmaking styles, enriching the film landscape. Imagine a world where a film studio might partner with a WFCN to distribute independent films, or a WFCN project secures funding from a major film studio for wider film distribution. It will undoubtedly disrupt the film industry, paving the way for a more exciting and inclusive future for films.
