Will user-generated content be the next thing to take over Movies?

We've seen the likes of Ben Shapiro, Lauren Southern, and sometimes PewdiePie make a name for themselves when it comes to the culture narrative. So much so that traditional media have gone to all out war with them. The rise of platforms like YouTube, rumble and 3speak have given rise to normal people grabbing a camera and microphone and just going for it.

Yes, reporting was quite the gated community in the past, reserved for people that had good names and long standing reputation within the sphere. Joe bloggs from smellingham had no chance, even if he had three degrees and shot world class scenes. It was a career reserved for the rich and famous.

That being said with the rise of user-generated content in the last 12 years it has given a voice to the ordinary people. Anyone now can don a mic, buy a camera and attract an audience. If you are informative and can hold the interest of your watcher then the world is your oyster. We have seen the world been split in two by that very thing.

If you haven't been watching there's quite a war going on behind the scenes. Governments have been handing out the "Misinformation" tag to counteract narratives that they don't like, or want out there. The UK has released one of the most draconian pieces of legislation on internet safety to make sure they will remain with powers of policing who says what.

But that aside I think the Internet is bursting for a new wave of onslaught and I do believe this will be from the Indie filmakers. I speak of it as if I can't believe it, but let me throw you a few pieces from some budding people who love to make films.

Here's a clip from some of RackaRacka's work. They've just released a film in the last month that's in cinema's worldwide.

Now let me divert your eyes to Lauren Southern. Not quite my cup of tea this documentary but it's produced well and the quality is of studio standard.

Interestingly enough I think this will snowball in the next five years as people realise how accessible the internet is to produce their work.

I think we'll see as a lot of new filmakers and film editors (and actors) that were sold the dream of hollywood only to find that it was reserved and gated and elite communities -- and eventually, as the mainstream media learned the hard way, their skills weren't so elite or special.

It's the same with almost all the art industry. I think we're about to have another revolution. Where once art was a hobby for the rich and powerful we are about to see a different side of the coin.

So I will leave you with these thoughts. Watch Cine TV because we'll be making moves :)
