I think the biggest difference is that film is a collaborative medium to an extent that music isn't, or at least doesn't have to be. I'm not sure there's an equivalent of the "bedroom techno producer" for film, unless the film they put out has a cast of 1 (who is also the director, editor, cinematographer, producer, etc.). That said, directors such as Quentin Tarantino and cinematographers such as Roger Deakins have essentially made the same point[1] that technology (for example, shooting digital as opposed to shooting on 35mm film) will allow many more people to become filmmakers. Whether their output will be watchable or not is another story, and is a function of the artist's ability to piece together the shots they capture into an engaging narrative structure. 1. https://www.4kshooters.net/2021/05/01/quentin-tarantino-and-roger-deakins-on-film-vs-digital-debate/ https://www.4kshooters.net/2021/05/01/quentin-tarantino-and-...
