I pretty much agree. There's definitely a factor of luck in hitting the gigantic jackpots in entertainment, but I think it's a lot less of a factor than is commonly imagined.
I selected films for a mid-sized film festival in Los Angeles for a couple of years. I watched thousands of films, and in the end I still ended up getting desperate for great films by the end of it. A friend of mine selects for Sundance, and even there he says the same thing.
There's not a lot of great undiscovered talent out there. There may be a lot of undeveloped talent, but that's because the people who have it haven't put in the time to develop it. It's tough but true.
- randomdrake 14y agoThanks for your additional insight. I really like your statement about there being less of an undiscovered talent market and perhaps more of an undeveloped talent market. Rings true in so many professions. I am not sure if there is good data to back up this assertion, or if it is just perspective, but I certainly find a lot of truth in your observation.
