    Depression is one factor, but I also realized that what Hollywood thinks a “relatable” character is is very far from who I am as a person.

      Film is a medium that is truly coming to its technical maturity while also being at or near the absolute height of our artistic powers as a civilization. That’s why it really sucks that at that same moment, studios are more risk-adverse and money driven than ever.

      I didn’t want to be a film snob, but I feel like I have to go indie these days to see anything worth my time.

        Same thing with video games. I mainly play indie games and if you combined the budget and staff of all of them, it still wouldn’t come close to the budget and staff of a AAA game. So much more creativity is allowed thought. A single vision rather then a design by committee.
