What are some issues the industry Film and Television production are facing?
I am doing a project and can’t for the life of me find any information on the current issues/challenges that Film and television production are facing.
if any one could help this would be greatly appreciated!
The big issue is money. There’s always an endless amount of creative people wishing to make movies, the limited resource is professional talent - veteran crew and actors you can bank on to make a good movie won’t exactly work for free…
Hollywood Studio movies are doing pretty well, but these are actually the minority of the industry, volume-wise. TV and independent films are suffering badly, people in the biz say that indie productions have been virtually wiped off the map - investing in movie is a very risky venture (most likely it will flop…), and these days no one wants to put their money in that anymore. TV, as said, is challenged by the internet and is trying to find its viewership.

Well they are under threat due to the increasing amount of people using the Internet to access media, as opposed to television.
