Film Courage: Jason do you feel that movies last forever?
Jason Park, Filmmaker: Yes. It’s one of the driving forces as to why I make movies now. It’s one of them things where sometimes when I think of a concept or I think of a story, how I’m going to structure it? I say Man, when I’m 80 years old, how is it going to feel to look back on this? How is it going to feel to share this with my son who’s now nine? But at that point will be 40 right? And to the grandkids?
It’s one of the main driving forces because I feel like any creative in that moment, especially as an actor, that you get to live forever in that space. It may not be important to the rest of the world because by that time another 100 million films will have been released and it may get buried, but to your family, the ones that matter the most, that image of you moving and talking and being creative will stay within that lineage forever.
So yes, I do think movies last forever.
Film Courage: So then if movies last forever, can you explain why you think that Hollywood is dying?
Jason: That’s a good question. I think storytelling will be forever but I think the model that Hollywood operates at cannot sustain itself. What I mean by that is, you have indie filmmakers all around the world that are able to produce high quality films/web series content for minimal budgets, not to say that everything you create you want to stay within…(Watch the video interview on YouTube here).
