Well, let me tell ya, this Golden Alchemy Entertainment thing, it’s somethin’ else. Sounds fancy, like somethin’ you’d hear about on them city tell-e-visions. Folks callin’ it a “first-look deal” with this Netflix place. Now, I ain’t got no Netflix myself, but my grandson, he’s always watchin’ it. Says they got all sorts of movies and shows on there.
This David E. Talbert fella, he’s the one behind it all, along with his wife, Lyn Sisson-Talbert. They seem like a real go-gettin’ couple. They’re gonna be makin’ movies for Netflix, writin’ ’em and directin’ ’em too. Must be a lot of work, but hey, that’s how you get things done, right?
They started this Golden Alchemy Entertainment thing after their movie, “Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey,” did real well. I ain’t seen it, but my grandbaby says it was all sparkly and singin’. Guess folks liked it enough for Netflix to want more from ’em. That’s how it works, I reckon. You do somethin’ good, folks want more of it.
Now, they got this Jim Miller fella workin’ with ’em too. He’s the “Head of Film” they say. Sounds important. Probably helps keep things organized and makes sure everyone’s doin’ their job. Gotta have someone like that, you know? Otherwise, things get all messed up.
This “first-look deal” means Netflix gets to see their movie ideas first. If Netflix likes it, they buy it and put it on their service. If not, well, then the Talberts can go sell it somewhere else, I guess. It’s like sellin’ your tomatoes at the market. You hope the first fella buys ’em all, but if not, you gotta keep lookin’ for another buyer.
- David E. Talbert: He’s the writer and director. Seems like a smart fella.
- Lyn Sisson-Talbert: That’s his wife and partner. They work together, just like me and my old man used to.
- Jim Miller: The Head of Film. He’s the boss man, I figure.
- Netflix: That’s where the movies go. Like a big ol’ movie store, but you watch it on your tell-e-vision.
Golden Alchemy, huh? Sounds like somethin’ magical. Maybe they’re turnin’ stories into gold, like them old-timey alchemists. Or maybe it’s just a fancy name. Either way, as long as they’re makin’ good movies, that’s all that matters, right? Folks want to be entertained. They want to laugh, they want to cry, they want to forget about their troubles for a little while.
And it seems like these Talberts are gonna keep on doin’ just that. They got this deal with Netflix, and they’re gonna keep makin’ movies. Maybe one day I’ll even watch one of ‘em. If my grandson can figure out how to work that Netflix thing for me, that is. Technology these days, it’s somethin’ else. Always changin’ and gettin’ more complicated.
But at the end of the day, it’s all about stories. People have been tellin’ stories since the beginning of time. Around a campfire, on a porch swing, or on a big ol’ screen. And these Talberts, well, they’re just tellin’ their stories in their own way. And that’s a good thing, I reckon. The world needs more stories.
So, this Golden Alchemy Entertainment, it’s a company, a moviemakin’ company. They got a good deal with a big company, and they’re gonna be busy makin’ movies for folks to watch. And that’s about all there is to it. Nothin’ too complicated, once you break it all down. Just folks makin’ movies for other folks to enjoy. That’s the way it should be.
