I would like to see them make low and medium budget films. In TWILIGHT ZONE they made a lot of episodes and a few fo them were classics. How about making a lot of movies and let them make what they want to see. SILENT RUNNING, TERMINATORS were experimental films that had small budgets that worked. Let's go back to making films that way.

I realise this is a childish Question but you may have a great answer:

Could anyone tell me who the best Agent or Agency is for a new Screenwriter in Hollywood?

David Mamet

what I take away from what he says is:

Find the Producer.

Get the Producer you want to develop your script and gather the rest of your team from there.

Hensleigh is a fascinating presence in the film industry. He is an instinctive and highly attuned conduit.

I understand what he's trying to say, but that kind of is the same thing as the useless execs there now. It sucks that people get paid to do nothing but screw up a person's vision.
