Most People Can't Help You In The Movie Business And This Is Why - Adam William Ward

[@filmcourage]

How much time and effort do you put into helping other people with their creative careers?

[@JordanWheeler1999]

I helped out with other people who aren't in this business: I use to help the homeless, I mostly give them money to survive. I did tip subway before. the only thing that I helped with in the industry is being their with my crew.

Anything done in camera is often times better than CG.

Oooh so the higher ups does not care for the scripts alone they just want the summary? I knew Hollywood doesn't care but to be this lazy is a crime. Why be a movie business and be a slacker about it? For me being an unknown film maker that wants to be in the top makes me sad how these people lacks of story, the source material, adaptations, ect. Makes me sad that these corporations are so lazy to pick up something and just read it.

Hi there; retired professional actor here: You'll find that you can't criticize the machine. It doesn't help you or anyone to criticize or reflect on the industry. The result will be the end of your career. -- But yes! We CAN talk about it here, in private or with family and coworkers to some degree. -- This is the Monolith we work in. This is how it is. I appreciate it being made clear to the public, #FilmCourage.

​@j.a.velarde5901 actually you can criticize the machine when you experience how the machine works, people who runs it are the reason why the machine is running it's toll. As much as I respect actors/directors/ect who works in Hollywood to make a living. I hate to see it has become for people's egos and not give anyone a chance or read the script do to it hurts everything about Hollywood. Also I Don't care about the machine, I care about creativity, and getting out there to make better stories.

@@JordanWheeler1999-- In regards to why producers, executives, and other higher ups won't read the script: -- A script can be a frustratingly obtuse experience to deal with, especially if the writing is coming from unexperienced hands. -- It takes hours to read a script, and the understanding of what is trying to be presented... even IF that script is good? it's hard to read between those lines. -- This is why developers want a synopsis. They actually usually want a single sentence! Haha! -- Why? -- As far as I can tell, these people have to socialize; they don't have time to read scripts all day. -- That's why. -- :)

[@JordanWheeler1999]

​@j.a.velarde5901 reading scripts isn't some kind of paperwork to constantly write and file in a office. Reading a script is the same way of reading a book. To say a screenwriter/writer that has "unexperience hands" is the most disrespectful and will easily put you out of business if you said that to a screen writer. Considering you Said you're retired it makes me wonder if you ever say this to the people that you would of work for in this industry. You don't think people who are producers don't socialize? Literally producers marries actresses.
