Union camera, sound, lighting, makeup, costume, directors, editors, screenwriters. Literally almost impossible to make a film outside of union rules in LA.

It works for film due to some historical circumstances but don’t known if it will work for software




Film and software seem like very similar businesses. Very high development costs, near-zero unit costs.
