You've already killed the creative work financing model, thanks. I find it a lot harder to get paid for working on an indie film than I did 5 years ago, because it;s a lot harder to recoup production costs and investors are much warier of small-budget projects.

Congratulations. It's so much more exciting to produce or work on films without any sort of credible revenue model.

Society doesn't owe you an ability to make a profession out of your hobby.

If you can't figure out business model and don't like to create for free than stop doing it and write some code instead. People are paying handsomely for that right now.

Lot's of people are making indie films which they put up on youtube getting revenue from ads. It's healthier model than the traditional one because when the movie is bad the sucker who watched it loses just a few minutes of his time instead of DVD or a ticket price.
