I think we can all agree that the Writers have a right to fight for their living, what we’re not agreeing on is when, where or how.
I’m curious though, do you think it’s time for some of the more future looking writers to start “jumping ship” as it were and try and create their own market share and not deal with the Hollywood machine. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of advantages in that huge powerhouse still, but as you say change is in the wind.
As I mentioned before I’ve already seen at least one decent star level cast and crew “break” off from the norm and form “Sanctuary For All.” I’ve also heard rumors of Joss Whedon taking his popular (but not financially sucessful in the current system) Firefly series directly to the internet and fans through Games and Direct to Web TV. Do you guys think that’s the future where the studios are being bypassed and production houses go direct to the fans?
