I love it, but in my mind there's one major obstacle that has to be overcome: economics. Leftists are making 1 movie that will sell in the US and in communist china, one of the most lucrative markets for hollywood.

This studio would make 1 movie and only sell in the US Market (maybe Europe)? That means the income is lower and the budget is lower for actors, crew, location, etc.

The likely way to balance this is to impose a tariff or tax on studios that film or sell in China, but there are constitutional (1st amendment) and practical restraints there too.

Well, my job is easy - I just point out the problem. Now that MY work is done, can y'all think a solution?

If there is a market for the Hallmark Channel, there is a market for their husbands.

That's a fair point. I'm not an expert on the Hallmark channel, but if it is what I think it is then we're talking about a pretty modest budget. You're not going to film Terminator 2 on Hallmark's budget

I would watch the shit out of a Hallmark version of T2.

Probably not, unless aliens attack the Ingalls family in their meager sod dwelling on the prairie.

Pedowood films are overbugeted in the extreme and suffer for it. Their profit margin is also kinda on the slim side. Some of the absolute best movies to come out of there in decades have been shoestring budget passion projects by people who wanted to make something good.

Low budget movies with some of the quality talent that has been blacklisted from pedowood could be phenomenal films, and still make enough money to be profitable. They could potentially provide an overhead and single roof for all the Mel Gibson's, Kevin Sorbo's and soon to be Chriss Pratt's out there who've branched off to form their own studios for independent Christian films that rarely if ever see the light of day.

They don't have to produce the next crappy Marvel Movie, they don't have to pump out a billion dollar Transformers movie, they can budget 40 mil for a spy drama with the hopes of making a 100 back through small sales, and be just fine. But I think the market for a direct pedowood competitor is there like never before, and it could potentially be far more successful than that.

Now that you mention it... didn't 300 have to go independent? And it rocked.

Most movies that pushed some kind of boundary ended up going indi, or at least getting an indi producer to back them. You'd never know it with the way they get latched onto and copied in one form or another. I don't remember 300 having a particularly large budget either, I could be way wrong though. Been a long time since that came out, sheesh.
