Just because you see it for the first time

Just because you see something for the first time is doesn't mean the it's original.

it might be original to you and the market you are in.

The americans do it all the time, they will copy a movie from another market and make it an americam movie.

example "La Femme Nikita", "Desperado" they don't care about the few who think it's not original only the millions they will make with everyone who have seen it for the first time and have no clue that the original movie was made in france.

Can we drop the original discussion, right now Haitian movie makers need to focus on image quality and movies that can sell.

As long as it's original to the Haitian market, in don't care.
