    No new movies and TV shows are being made. I’m a 43 year old industry veteran, forced to look for a new career.

    Anecdotally, I used to make $120k/year for the past 10 years like clockwork. The past two years, though: I made $18,00 and $22,000.

    This article says 40% but that’s in LA. In other places, production is down 90%.

      I see… That’s a staggering number. Hopefully there are enough rich assholes who like good movies to keep funding the few movies we still get for the next couple decades…

      After that, there will always be independent filmmakers, and with the increasing quality of consumer-grade equipment and software, their stuff will get better as the technology improves. Still won’t hold a flame to studio production quality, but it will be there

      Thank you for your insight
