Does time period really matter?
So I have a concept I plan to make into a feature length script/screenplay. But it revolves around something that was popular in the 70s and 80s. Thing is, I'm a 2000s kid so I don't know if I'd do the 70s/80s nostalgia justice.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is does it really matter if the script takes place in a time accurate period? Is there a way I can switch it up to match another time period? I don't mind it being in the 70s/80s, I can do some research and shit, I don't mind at all! But just asking for a friend.
