Business Model? What Business Model?
An unusually clear-headed evaluation of the problem of earning a living as a filmmaker.
Juicy quotes:
“…we are currently stuck in a limbo between distribution as it was and distribution as it will be. Online distribution is not based on the scarcity model of theatrical and television. This is good news for people wanting access and exposure but currently bad news for people wanting money.”
“For artists to actually earn decent hourly wages, the number of artists would have to go down considerably. This implies a current state of over-production in the arts and an oversupply of artists. A career in the arts remains just too attractive for its own good.”
