TelAve News/10580456
Big blockbuster films aren't just for big screen. Independent movies like "WISH MAN", a compelling feature film, are making a big splash at theaters and film festivals around the country this summer.
LOS ANGELES - May 14, 2019 - TelAve -- The term "summer blockbuster" entered the movie-goers consciousness in the late 1970s. Today anticipation of what the next summer blockbuster is going to be is a staple of American culture. But it is not just every major motion picture studio releasing what they hope will turn a monstrous summer profit. Independent film makers like 333 Films LLC and Fresh Cats Entertainment, in association with El Ride Productions are making their own summer blockbuster with their independent film debut "WISH MAN" about a man who comes to realize that heroes follow no rules and that a simple act of kindness can have a global ripple effect.
From Avengers: Endgame to Hobbs and Shaw, starring the wickedly captivating Dwayne Johnson, 2019 is sure to be a blockbuster summer filled with on screen thrills. Yet many of the best film projects of the year are based on reality.
