"But it's true, it's nothing new that decisions about what movies are to be made, and how they're to be made, and who's to be hired to do what, and whether you hire somebody to do their job, or whether you hire somebody to fill a position and you tell them what to do"

This quote by Jeffrey Jones talks to the power dynamics of the movie industry. He is highlighting the reality that decisions about what movies are made, how they are made, and who is worked with to do what are all made by those in power. This suggests that those in power have the capability to employ someone to do their task, or to work with somebody to fill a position and inform them what to do. This quote talks to the lack of autonomy that those in the film industry have, as they undergo the choices of those in power. It also talks to the absence of diversity in the film industry, as those in power are often the same individuals making the very same decisions. This quote is a reminder of the requirement for more variety and autonomy in the film industry.
