When a dot com founder and a real estate developer can bankroll successful movies for profit or for noble social goals, then the movie studios better watch their backs. They have more than the writers’ strike to worry about in a power shift that L.A. Times reporter, Patrick Goldstein predicts will crack open the movie business to further ground-breaking alliances (and inspire you to create your own.)
Like other hyphenates (as Marci Alboher knows), the writer-director of “Michael Clayton,” Tony Gilroy, was thrilled with the opportunity to use his multiple talents – and add one - “entrepreneur” to his tool-kit.
Notes Goldstein, “Hollywood is a town awash in hyphenates. TV is loaded with writer-producers. The movie biz is full of writer-directors. There’s even a legion of actor-filmmakers like Clint Eastwood and George Clooney … .see the rest of the story at

Hello, KareAnderson! Very interesting! Brief and insightful! Definitely not my normal arena, but question:
Do you feel this transition is progress as in the natural order of things, as if the biz should not go back to what it has been, or go back to an obviously dysfunctional scheme, (if I know enough to pose this as a valid question)? There does seem a disproportionate balance of talent with human resource and expectation along with responsibility and power. Is this clear? Is the title of your post optimistic or ironic and ominous?
Let me know please. I am interested in your opinion.
