About this Quote

This quote by Roger Corman speaks to the changing landscape of the film industry. In the late 1950s, when Corman started making movies, every film he made was given a theatrical release, no matter its budget. Nevertheless, today, just 20-percent of movies get a theatrical release. This suggests that the movie industry has actually become more competitive which it is harder for independent filmmakers to get their films seen in theaters. It likewise suggests that the industry has actually ended up being more focused on big-budget smash hits, leaving little room for smaller sized, independent films. This quote acts as a reminder of the significance of supporting independent filmmakers and their work, as they are typically the ones who are pushing limits and creating ingenious and unique movies.
