About this Quote

This quote by Lew Wasserman speaks to the altering landscape of the film industry given that the days of Louis B. Mayer. In the past, the studios had a good deal of control over the artists, directors, and producers they dealt with. They might dictate the terms of their contracts and the kinds of movies they made. However, recently, the power has moved away from the studios and into the hands of the artists, directors, and producers. They now have more control over their own careers and the types of films they make. This shift has actually allowed for more innovative liberty and has opened the industry to a larger variety of voices and perspectives. The days of the studio system are gone, and the film industry is now a lot more open and varied place.
