It is very possible but too many black actors wanna suck on the tit of Hollywood. I mean you can purchase a DSLR for less than 1000 bucks, you can purchase a 4K camera for less than 4000 bucks. Tyler Perry makes the shyttiest films in Hollywood but he's also the richest guy. You can put together a full length feature film, that's professional for under 100K and I know some of those black actors you see on movies and TV can pitch in a couple thousand each but they don't.

Honestly they probably can but there is a reason why they aren't has something to do with fear of the machine but the concept is too simple for people to not follow up on it.
I've got a DSLR.

My plan with this first film is to write the next draft and then put together a kickstarter and solicit donations from some connects I have. Pre production is critical so that the production can run smooth as possible.

Possible, yes, but its hard to get Black enough Black people to agree to terms long enough to do much more than short films.

I got Lionsgate execs talking to me and saying the industry needs more black filmmakers. They are interested in distributing one of my movies. My only problem is I haven't made one yet, they were interested off the script and idea alone.

Let's be honest as much as the word is thrown there is no such thing

One is necessary, but with all the c00ns in the industry it will be quickly disrupted

Black Hollywood was done in the past, and can occur right now if Blacks wanted and had the will. There are very good Black writers out there not getting the shine they deserve in Hollywood, that we should be utilizing but Blacks want to be accepted by whites and "integrated" due to stupidity and insecurities. I sometimes cannot fathom the actions of my people. We can easily fix our situation yet we just allow whites to pollute our minds and our arenas.

I'd love to see that but I don't know how it can be done. Will and Jada produced After Earth and Annie (with Jigga) but both movies got negative reviews and barely made a profit.

They'd pretty much have to be indie movies at first that play in select cities, then I guess it would evolve from there.

It can be done would take a lot of work tho. Script writing is one of the places where it gotta start. Most black films have a lot of cookie cutter scripts. I give props to Tyler perry for his hustle but fukk him as a filmmaker and any one who can sit through his films. We need diverse screenplays that can appeal to more than the black crowd.
