How to come up with a new creative idea?
Coming up with new ideas can be a challenging but rewarding process. Here are a few tips that may help you generate creative ideas:
- Keep an open mind: Try not to dismiss ideas too quickly and stay open to new and unconventional ideas.
- Take breaks: Step away from your work and give yourself time to relax and let your mind wander. This can help spark new ideas.
- Seek out new experiences: Exposing yourself to new people, cultures, and experiences can help stimulate creativity and inspire new ideas.
- Collaborate with others: Working with a group of people can lead to a greater diversity of ideas and perspectives.
- Use brainstorming techniques: Brainstorming is a popular method for generating ideas in which a group of people come together to generate as many ideas as possible, without evaluating them.
- Ask “what if” questions: Asking questions such as “what if we did this differently?” or “what if we combined these two ideas?” can help stimulate new ideas.
- Keep a journal: Writing down your ideas as they come to you can help you capture and later review and expand upon them.
Remember, coming up with new ideas is a process and it may take some time and effort. It’s important to be patient and persistent, and not to get discouraged if you don’t have a great idea right away.

Micro Cinema
Micro cinema itself is not inherently illegal. However, there are specific legal considerations you must adhere to when running a micro cinema, particularly around copyright laws and public performance rights.
Legal Aspects to Consider:
1. Public Performance Rights (PPR):
If you screen a film publicly (even to a small group in a micro cinema), you must obtain the rights from the film’s distributor, studio, or copyright holder. This applies to commercial films, independent films, and sometimes even short films.
2. Licensing Fees:
Distributors often charge licensing fees for public screenings, which depend on:
◦ The type of film
◦ Audience size
◦ Whether the event charges admission
3. Non-Profit or Educational Exceptions:
Some films allow free screenings for educational or non-commercial purposes, but you still need permission in writing.
4. Using Creative Commons or Public Domain Films:
To avoid legal issues, you can screen:
◦ Films under Creative Commons licenses (with proper attribution).
◦ Works in the public domain (no copyright restrictions).
◦ Films for which you’ve directly secured rights from the creators.
5. Private Screenings:
If the event is private (e.g., at home with friends), this generally does not require a license because it does not constitute a public performance.
What Makes It Illegal?
Micro cinema becomes illegal if you:
• Show copyrighted films without permission for public audiences.
• Charge admission without acquiring the appropriate rights.
• Fail to pay required licensing fees to the rights holders.
How to Stay Legal:
• Partner with local filmmakers who want exposure.
• Use film licensing services like Swank Motion Pictures or Criterion Pictures for public performance rights.
• Focus on films that are public domain or licensed for free distribution.
• Get written permission directly from independent filmmakers.
