We are screening the feature film "Lee'd The Way" during the Cannes Film Festival in France. We are talking to the International Press about the completed project and the others we have in development.
We are doing everything differently and when we talk about our projects, and when I say we, I mean our studio, people listen, many times they are confused, because we are working in a new genre of entertainment, one that is so different, I guess you could say it is still in the Beta stage. If we can lead the way for other talented filmmakers to work in the new genre, we will have achieved our most forward-looking goal. After all, once you give birth to something, you must nurture it, and help it to grow. Let us all work together to change this world for the better.

Hi Julia, Yes, the basic 12 tenets of the new genre:
HOW DOES THE NEW "SOLUTION GENRE" COMPARE TO THE OTHER FILM GENRES
1) A SOLUTION FILM OFFERS POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS WE FACE EVERY DAY.
2) A SOLUTION FILM CAN OFFER A SINGLE SOLUTION TO A SINGLE PROBLEM OR MANY SOLUTIONS TO MANY PROBLEMS.
3) A SOLUTION FILM CAN TREAT A CONCRETE SOLUTION, LIKE A PRODUCT THAT SOLVES A PROBLEM BY WEARING IT OR USING IT.
4) A SOLUTION FILM CAN HAVE A MATHEMATICAL SOLUTION, A POLITICAL SOLUTION, AN ORGANIZATIONAL SOLUTION, A PSYCHOLOGICAL SOLUTION OR EVEN A PHILOSOPHICAL SOLUTION.
5) A SOLUTION FILM TAKES PLACE IN THE MODERN DAY... THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD.
6) A SOLUTION FILM IS CLOSEST TO THE DOCUMENTARY. IT IS A MELD OF THE DOCUMENTARY AND THE NARRATIVE FICTION FILM.
7) IN A WAY THE SOLUTION FILM IS ALSO LIKE THE DOC AND THE HORROR FILM IN THAT YOU DON'T NEED NAME ACTORS OR A BIG BUDGET TO MAKE A SOLUTION FILM.
8) IN A SOLUTON FILM, RECOGNIZABLE FACES AND SLICK PHOTOGRAPHY COULD MAKE IT LESS REAL AND BELIEVABLE TO AN AUDIENCE.
9) THE SOLUTIONS ARE THE STARS OF A SOLUTION FILM.
10) WHILE A COMEDY IS INTENDED TO MAKE US LAUGH AND A HORROR FILM IS INTENDED TO SCARE US, THE SOLUTION GENRE IS INTENDED TO UPLIFT, TO INSPIRE, TO MAKE US FEEL THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
11) "LEE'D THE WAY" THE FIRST SOLUTION FILM, WILL LEAD THE WAY FOR OTHER TALENTED FILMMAKERS TO WORK IN THIS NEW GENRE.
12) A SOLUTION FILM IS MORE THAN A MOVIE, IT'S A MOVEMENT, A MOVEMENT FOR POSITIVE CHANGE.
