Encore: Is high finance killing Hollywood?

  • Summary

  • What is the point of Hollywood? There are two obvious answers, right? To make good stuff that entertains people. And to make money for the big studios and the people who work for them.


    Those two things don’t have to be mutually exclusive. But writer Daniel Bessner believes increasingly they have been.
