FAQ
Why is Hollywood calling this Hollywood?
D.W. Griffith was the one who founded California's first film industry. It was named after its location in Los Angeles, which at the time was known as "Hollywood."
It was an exciting place to visit and the name stuck. People would come from all over just to see what was happening there.
Hollywood is an important part of culture today. We have movies, television shows, music videos, commercials, etc. We call them all "Hollywood."
What is the difference in an indie film and one made in a foreign language?
A film made independently is typically done by one filmmaker, who makes all the decisions.
However, foreign language films are typically produced by a larger production group.
They often hire actors, authors, and directors who are from other countries.
So that the dialogue sounds natural, they also employ professional translators.
How much does Hollywood make in a year?
Producing a movie can cost around $100 million. So if you made ten movies a year for a decade, you'd have enough money to buy a small country.
A private island with an airport and power plant, as well as a bank, post office and police station, would be yours.
If this doesn't sound fun, you are insane.
