Gez Z didn't grow up with watching movies. They grew up on social media. Cinematic story telling isn't something they're farmilur with as a form of daily entertainment.
I don't blame them for this. But it definitely shows in their work. Their own generation aren't interested in their stuff, by and large. Sure, there's some that watch and enjoy it but the audience they're putting this out to who are actually interested are older. And they see their work as it is - not as good as past efforts by generations before Gen Z.
It's why the film industry is drowning right now. There is an audience still there for film. But the majority of it isn't Gen Z. And that's the problem. There lies the disconnect.
If you want Gen Z attention and dollars, the film industry isn't where you should be aiming your sights at. Because they aren't the audience for film. Which obviously means, you should cater the film industry to the audience THAT IS ALREADY THERE.
And that ain't Gen Z...
