It’s Not Silicon Valley Versus Hollywood – It’s Greed Versus Greed

Hollywood is the term used to refer to the current ideology and industry of film making, not film making it self. Hollywood is dying. Film making is not. There is no fight against film making. Everyone loves the motion picture. Its the ideology of the industry that is old and needs to go.

Silicon Valley Vs Hollywood = Old hat film making/distribution VS New hat film making and distribution.

That is all.

-edit-

And furthermore, they have almost completely rejected working together with anyone and sue their own customers in mass. All out of fear of cannibalizing their own profits. Essentially Hollywood refuses to innovate out of fear. I'm not into that so much.

Indeed.

With regards to Hollywood film making, if you look at startups, you can be any gender or race, but as long as you bring your A-game, people will take you seriously.

In Hollywood, you have to be a very specific type to make it as a performer, otherwise you are relegated to working in the background to help create the movie OR fitting a stereotype to be part of a movie. In the last few years, the only Asian actors I've ever seen lead a 'Hollywood' movie without being relegated to action heros is Harold and Kumar.

I am fairly certain that this reflects the wishes of the audience.
