Download Hollywood Ending: Mutations of Money at the End of the Movie Industry AudioBook Free
What goes on when an industry dies? Movies described the 20th hundred years, driven by the thought of the auteur, the great creative force supplying meaning to the work of a huge selection of crew and a large number of industry workers. But as the 21st hundred years began, ticket sales flatlined, ancillary income from DVD sales were drying up, and even major movie studios commenced to question if they wanted to completely fund their own videos. The fantastic auteur director results of the 60s and 70s were changed into enigmatic financiers like Gigi Pritzker, Megan Ellison, David Ellison, James Packer, and Mark Cuban. The fantastic performers of the film world were no more storytellers with preternatural surveillance cameras and alchemical editing suites, these were people crazy enough to keep financing movies at the same time when even major studios were trying to find a way from the business. Hollywood Closing is an on-the-ground history of the start of the finish for videos, from the lush offices of Michael Ovitz's skill management company to the plucky development of cult hit Donnie Darko. Using his own tries to get a film financed, Michael Thomsen recounts the ethnic decay, doomed optimism, and abusive narcissism that helped take one of the greatest cultural institutions of the 20th hundred years to the brink of decrease.
