>>112274258>And so many potential movies are finding it harder to get any backing these daysAnd whose fault is that? Do you really think that Marvel movies are somehow hogging all Hollywood budget and that if they didn't exist, more indie movies would be made? Talk about delusional.
These movies require thousands of talents to make, and are a source of income for many beyond those in front of the camera. That's why they celebrate their making, it's more money for them. The way you speak makes me think you genuinely believe Feige films these movies in his studio and pockets all the money instead of being a massive collective effort.
And just so you know I watch A LOT of independent cinema, and I can assure you it's not hurting, on the contrary, technological advancements have made gear cheaper to acquire and rent, and in some cases have driven the inventiveness up (like these iPhone-filmed films from the likes of Fincher). The movies that have a hard time finding budget are those with actors who demand a big paycheck despite working in lower profile films, expecting to be paid just the same as their previous big screen gigs, while people like Shane Carruth and Jeremy Saulnier are out there making movies with budgets under 50K.
