The Five is one of those things you get when you decide to support HopeForFilm with a premium subscription. Not only do you get access to the over 350 posts in the archive, access to the special topic Masterclasses, and more good fun to come in 2025, but you get The Five, my musings, ponders, wonders, and links that focus — one way or another — on topics I think are related to the building of a non-dependent cinema ecosystem prioritizing the artists. Today’s special menu includes:

5 Damn, it is hard out there for… everyone.

4 The NYTs finally wakes to a story, but…

3 Some truth about ourselves.

2 Doc Lovers & Makers need this.

1 How we get more good movies up in the air?
