I find it interesting that the only way to get a movie financed today is by packaging the film. I guess that’s why the WGA wants a new deal with ATA. Because agencies have been ripping writers off for decades with backdoor packaging fees. Some agencies have either started Hedge funds or partnered with them with all the money they’ve stolen from writers with these fees. What a dirty business. That’s why these movies suck, because they don’t care about a great script.
