Welcome To The Private Cinema Universe – Episode 1

by Sam Cavitt |


Who writes this stuff?  I’m not talking about this blog or even blogs in general.  I know, people with too much to say and strong opinions do that (fingers pointing at self!).  I am talking about the movies, specifically the action-adventure hero kind of movies.  Where an admirable but seemingly helpless main character finds themselves in a hopelessly dire position.  And a hero, often against all odds and even despite their inclination, is somehow able to save the day and preserve truth, justice and… well, you get the picture.  Goosebumps and tears of joy!  

Well, this time I thought I would play with that superhero theme to make a point about our current position and the parallel condition of the movie industry.  And this time, while it is fictional, it is based on a true story that is happening right now!  But this time, the ending is up to us because we are in a position to create an ending that, though surprising, could truly bring about a happily ever after for both our beloved endangered character and our nascent hero, the private home cinema. 

I hope you enjoy the read and it serves to open our minds and inspire us to create a new normal, one that leads to the extraordinary!
