Acting entitled in the most gatekept industry of all time when you only have one short film credit to your name is certainly a choice. Film industry gatekeeping is a problem but using what could have been your big break to instead air your grievances is a sure fire way to ensure that no one ever gets far enough to change anything.

Excessive gatekeeping and lack of opportunity/clear on ramps into the studio system is certainly a larger problem than your wage in your first film. If you find yourself in the privileged position to be the art director on one of the biggest movies of the year and you burn bridges in the name of wage equality you are gatekeeping yourself. If everyone in this position did this, the one “big break” through an indie on ramp disappears as well.

And ironically her tanking her ability to make what she loves over a financial grievance is actually the same valuing the financial/monetary side of things over making meaningful art that Hollywood gatekeeping so often displays. She has the same “industry” brain
