Tubi and Prime Video made me look at major film studio movies like the NBA. Even the worst Hollywood shyt is LIGHT YEARS better than the garbage Prime and Tubi pad their services with. The amount of legit horrible movies that people are getting paid to make is astonishing.

I imagine a lot of it is straight scamming: people cashing in on tax incentives, raising funding for a move pitched as legitimate then making shyt and pocketing the difference, etc.

Ex screenwriter exposes her experience in Hollywood.

Cliffs:

  • it's a closed power system that controls all storytelling
  • they have agendas to push
  • writers are given documents by the biggest agents in the world (like the C.I.A), the lists tells them what to write about
  • the transgender topic is one of the biggest agendas right now
  • if you're looking to develop "urban" movies (code word for "Black movies") you are given themes to write about
  • they need to be dumbed down and about poverty
  • she wrote a script with two Black leads, her agent gave the script to J3w1$h producer R0b T3it3l cause he makes "urban" movies (also known for his race baiting agendas)
  • he said it was "too intelligent" for Black audiences
  • it's social engineering , they want to create a divide, she has been to those meetings
  • you have to be compromised in order to be successful, you don't get to the top unless you are
  • people at the top like Harvey Weinstein are the most scared
  • was told by her manager that she has to tell the bigwigs "I'm willing to do anything", it's a code word and they are waiting for her to say it





One of the few good threads from LSA
Screenwriter exposes Hollywood, told script was 'too intelligent' for Black audiences

Above the fray.

Answer is a lot less complicated than this. Internet likes conspiracy theories, but it's supply and demand.
The streaming numbers for films of certain genres are what they are. Safe investment to apply the same formula, spend a small budget, and get a return.
It's that simple.

Didn't watch the vid, but have heard many writers express frustration with how the industry is structured.
