Nowadays though, it seems like traditional movie studios only want mega blockbusters, which left the door open for Netflix and Amazon to create things with lower financial expectations, but still deliver quality.
So basically, I don’t equate good, with blockbuster, or whatever Schrader equates with good. I can fondly name 20 or 30 movies that made out okay, that weren’t necessarily hard for a good writer to come up with, that all had different subjects.
If it takes a writer months to come up with a good idea to flesh out with a screenplay, they are in the wrong business.
If you fell for that you deserve to lose your money.
Going after the big money, fad-following elite? Or does the locale mitigate the (financial) risk?
