    Having a large entity with deep pockets (like a studio) to foot the bill until money rolls in makes this easier.

    You understand, that’s not a studio anymore, that’s just a bank, a crappy bank that charges insane interest.

    Let’s start moving away from this nightmarish Weinstein-esque model and move towards one that’s a little less orphan-crushing-machine.

    Yes, money will be hard, especially at first, doubly-especially for scifi and similar expensive things, but it has to be better than this, and the fx studios are getting crushed by the studios as well.

      You make a good point there. I hadn’t considered it from that perspective.

      Whatever the solution, the ratio between executive pay and the pay of the people actually getting their hands dirty should be a lot closer to 1. Right now it is tragically far from that.

        I don’t know how to make it happen, and I don’t even expect it to happen quickly or all at once.

        But there always needs to be a counterforce to keep everyone honest, the studios have no counter at all.
