# Mediocrity-Themed Film Fundraisers The 56 Pink Flamingos Movie Addresses the Ordinary By Jordy E | Published 2013-01-06 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/56-pink-flamingos References: [indiegogo](http://www.indiegogo.com/56PinkFlamingos?c=home) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/56PinkFlamingos) The 56 Pink Flamingos movie is being co-directed by film students Andrea Varsany and Matthew Bianchi. The two have put their minds together in the hopes of producing a [short movie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-decision-without-us) that looks at the little pops of color that make even the most mediocre life worth living. This independent video is centered upon the life of Catherine Sumner, a middle aged woman who lives at home with her pregnant sister and brother-in-law. When she is forced to move into her basement, a co-worker helps her with the process and is in turn introduced to her bland life. Their relationship prompts that co-worker to surprise her with 56 [pink flamingos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rendezvous-apartment), hence the name. Varsany and Bianchi’s interest in all things mundane separates them from their contemporaries. They have found a sense of thrill in the most basic of lifestyles, speaking to their artistic vision and alternative outlooks. The current [indiegogo fundraiser](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ntd-international-competitions) will help to bring this imaginative project to fruition. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mediocrity-themed Film Fundraisers:** Opportunity for filmmakers to explore the beauty and meaning in ordinary, everyday lives through thought-provoking films. - **Alternative Artistic Vision:** Innovative filmmakers finding creativity in mundane and basic lifestyles, offering an alternative perspective to mainstream cinema. - **Independent Film Funding:** Growing support for independent films that challenge conventional storytelling by focusing on the ordinary and mundane. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Film Production:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create unique films that celebrate mediocrity and challenge traditional storytelling. - **Crowdfunding Platforms:** Opportunity to support and promote independent filmmakers who explore alternative artistic visions through platforms like Indiegogo. - **Art House Cinemas:** Potential for art house theaters to showcase and champion movies that delve into the nuances of ordinary lives and challenge societal norms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pride-Honoring Bird Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pride-birds.md) - [Tuna-Focused Film Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuna-cans-film-festival.md) - [Teen Film Dining Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankie-bennys1.md) - [Film-Celebrating Pool Floaties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funboy-x-barbie-the-movie-collection.md) - [Art-Promoting Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beige-billboards.md) - [Film-Themed Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scrounging-cookbook.md) - [Elegant Avian-Inspired Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flamingo-mini-light.md) - [Awareness-Driven Pink Mug Fundraisers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-mug.md) - [Movie-Inspired Pink Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnabon-2.md)
