The technical process and its costs are amazing. These films are crowd-pleasers, and nothing in them should be polemic or connected to the real world, in order to recoup the millions. But that means that anybody who wants to bring anything polemic to art will never have the same level of resources. Just as well. But I would like to see something like this website but for a low budget short.
I should think the bar has been lowered for film-making of all kinds due to technology. YouTube has hosted an increasing number of "fan films". I guess I'm just a little surprised to have not come across more "garage films" that are less derivative.
The bar for story hasn't been lowered at all, and that's what is difficult.
