Sure it may be a huge gamble and a waste of money but I would rather see creative people do this then waste their money in Vegas on slot machines. At least the film community is developing some interesting skills and the world may be a better place now because a few people took the chance to express their creative muscle. At least those people have something to show for what they spent their money on instead of just debt.

The world would truly be a sad sad place if everybody gave up on art because it wasn't a big money maker.

The same can really be said for any art form. There are a lot of people in the world that can paint or draw but sadly it is only a select few that get their own art gallery. I am really glad however that the world hasn't given up on painting and drawing.

There is a reason why the name starving artists exists.

If you want to make money become a banker.

What the world needs is a better way for film makers to sell their stuff. theaters are art galleries and one of the only forms of art left that is still really restricted to the "art gallery"
