Did you follow my advice? Did it help? I think it would have. I hope it did.

Call this post “Part Two” of that one. There is no doubt that things are going to be different in the cinema realm in the years to come. Shall you pack your bags or dig a bunker? Put on your battle gear?

Allow me to offer you a glimpse into my crystal ball… Not only do I have over 25 prognoses of what I suspect will happen… and I also have a matching list of how you can be best combat or embrace these times. Most of all though, please have fun.

What Life in the FKATheFilmBiz Will Look Like Under Trump2.0: 25 Predictions

  1. As our industry is really only about constant change, expect that constant change will continue at an even more accelerated pace — it will be an onslaught where tomorrow will no longer resemble today. Which means the best information comes from those living it day to day, and experience means less and less — as this is a game that moves while you play. If it has been hard to keep up, you ain’t seen nothing yet! Breathe deep and keep on keeping on.

  2. The destruction and dismantling of the present state will be shocking, but at the same time, it will be a creative inspiration for artists of all sorts (despite the likely negative consequences).
