it is only a matter of time before there are major motion pictures made by indie teams or even single people without the use of a camera.
some of these will go viral and will be insanely popular.
hollywood's capital-gated private club of big budget/costly production is about to be broken. within a few years $1000-5000 in compute rental will allow people to seriously compete with a multimilliondollar production.

This should have happened to music — and to a degree it did: I'm mostly listening to artists that even my friends might not know the names of.
But as information landscape is changing, now mostly consisting of myriads of bubbles — of considerable size, but still nowhere as big as "pop culture" used to be, big names seem to be in demand again: Taylor Swift and all that.
So it's not about production costs — people seem to want to be into the same thing millions of others are.

I don't know, but maybe its' about PR budgets now 🤷
Movie and record companies seem to have figured out what "going viral" is and how it works. I don't think that it means that they will get rid of all the smaller fish, but they aren't threatened by it either — both seem to be able to coexist.
