Justine Bateman says that Doge savings should start the American Film Fund

Mamga: Make American films great again.

It could not break down the tongue as easily as Maga, but the filmmaker Justine Bateman asks President Trump to achieve this. Your proposal: take a piece of money that the President and Elon Musk perform from the Bundesbundebureaucracy through the Ministry of Government Efficiency (Doge) and use them a handful of feature films every year.

The new company could be called American Film Fund or Taff, said Bateman. And the experienced director and producer, who became famous for the first time from 1982 to 1989, she said that she only knows the person who leads tough herself. In an interview, she raised the idea for Theewrap this week when she discussed her upcoming credo 23 film festival, which was shown without artificial intelligence technology.

“Let's start with small – give me $ 100 million or $ 50 million, and I will bring you five to seven fantastic 'Oh my god, America's back' Type of films,” said Bateman.

She argued that it could be a great opportunity to start the daring filmmaking after years of excited ideas, superhero films with a large budget and uninspiring slans.

“I have never known that the film business is so completely untouched with what is needed in society – with what you can deliver to society,” said Bateman. “I love the film business and I love everyone who is called. But unfortunately it has been afraid in the past ten years for various reasons. “

These reasons include concerns about the stricter users on social media and the financial fear of keeping pace with streamers like Netflix. She has the feeling that this has caused many “boxing checking films” to be made that have no new and fresh viewpoints. This is a shame because when America wants to export culture, she said that it must be first class.

“Let us export this American spirit, because the American spirit is not afraid. We have exported a lot of fear and shyness. If we come back to this rock'n'roll, get out of my way, cowboy [mindset]”, She said. “There is really no other place on the planet like this.”

She noticed that the government involved in art may seem counterproductive, but has worked elsewhere in the past. Bateman pointed out that the French New Wave movement and large films from Eastern Europe were financially supported by cultural funds.

Bateman's idea comes when Musk led the new Doge efforts for President Trump. The X owner has said several times in the past two months that his goal at Doge is to reduce the annual state expenditure of at least 1 trillion US dollar -or about 15% of the annual budget.

Musk, the managing director of Tesla and SpaceX, was the goal of criticizing many left -wing Americans and politicians recently for his work with the initiative. Senator Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who described Musk as “non-intelligent” and “morally vacant” because he reduced the tasks and expenditure of the government.

Bateman said that President Trump, who has a background in the entertainment between “The Apprentice” and his countless film and late night appearances, is well suited to start tough. But the fund would be apolitical and able to thrive among republican and democratic presidiums, she said.

What kind of films would you like to see Backed? All types of films would be hugged, said Bateman, but it is worth concentrating on funny films because there has been a lack of popular comedies in recent years. The original ideas that are similar to Sean Baker's “Anora”, who have just won the best picture at the Oscars, would also be Taffy goals, ideally, she said.
