Filmmaking rules from people who have no idea how to make films, or what happens on a set. What could possibly go wrong?
Jim Agnew is willing to talk to the guys from Film Threat because he works mostly on independent films, which are not governed by the nonsense coming out of corporate HR departments.
He noted some of the films that could not be made under the rules published by the big Hollywood studios. The one that stuck with me is Silence of the Lambs. It could not be made under this diversity rules. There are others; watch the video. It is 17 minutes.
This is the Film Threat video NO MOVIE COULD BE MADE UNDER DEIA - CONVO W/ WGA SCREENWRITER JIM AGNEW | Film Threat Rants. The quote below is from the description of the video, and not the video itself.
Chris Gore and Alan Ng are joined by WGA Screenwriter Jim Agnew to rant about the new DEIA rules that will essentially end filmmaking as we know it.
Politics is downstream of culture. The Right made a terrible mistake when they abandoned pop culture to the Left. It was only comic books. It was only movies or TV. We have serious things to worry about. But Pop culture IS culture. And the state of politics shows that the culture is dominated by insanity
