As it happens I've been thinking similar questions about the film industry. I was surprised at how hard it was to find good information online, so I started a site that largely consists of interviews with filmmakers. http://makingflix.com http://makingflix.com I only launched it a couple weeks ago so only have a few interviews up, but I've been pleasantly surprised by how many have agreed to be interviewed (still have those in the queue). A common thing I've heard about that industry is that it's the exact opposite of the collaborative, inquisitive nature of tech startups. For example, I've heard several people say the difference between SXSW Interactive and SXSW Film is night and day. It may be impossible, but my little site is a small attempt to change the industry attitude from one of "what's in it for me?" to "how can we work together to create great products that people love?"
