A while ago my wife and I were having a debate about hollywood. Mostly about how much it sucks, and why. I made the statement, it doesn't really matter because technology is bringing down the cost of making a movie for everyone in literally every way. At the time I was thinking about cheap CG, and DSLR's. Great quality filming like aerial shots were one of the few holdouts that individuals didn't have access to.
Now one of the last few holdouts are good quality talent, but I think people can learn to improve skills, and technology can help there too.
To me there isn't a single "hollywood killer" but rather its a singularity of sorts. When technology converges to the point where the quality of million dollar marketing oriented mass audience films are irrelevant. Because cheaper "niche" movies are more compelling anyways.
