but that doesn't mean hong kong cinema is dead today, the way some people like to proclaim (the continued worship of a past "golden age" for hong kong film and music is related to this, and something i'll likely talk about again in future). actors on both screen and stage are still trying to achieve their dreams, to create something for themselves and others. old and new directors are here and they're still making films, still telling stories, good stories, despite lower box office return for local projects and movie theatres closing. there are creatives who have turned to using the internet and youtube in different ways to draw people in to hong kong entertainment, from both inside and outside the region. the industry is smaller, yes. everyone who chooses it as their life path takes a risk, and they don't know now, more than ever, if it'll pay off. but this place is far from dead.

how it WILL be left behind, however, is if people around the world continue to write off hong kong cinema, and ignore the existence of every individual who's thrown themselves into it. (for passion, for joy, for the fact that someone must continue the work. no one chooses this industry for money, these days.) the way you ensure hong kong cinema dies more quickly, is if people don't give it a chance, and turn it instead into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
