Mike, I forgot to directly tell you how great that post was that I reblogged. At first I thought "Why isn't he running one of the studios?". Then I realized how silly that was and reframed it properly:If a lot more film makers thought the way Mike Ambs does then there will be no more studios.Thanks again.

Hey Peter - thanks for the reblog and the kind comments, I didn't see that you had shared it until Ted Hope had linked to it through his site, but what you said was very, very flattering. I wouldn't say that seeing *all* studios fail and collapse would make me happy on a personal level or be good for filmmaking in a general sense, but studios and the people who run them have a lot of bad habits to break. To be blunt, and at the risk of glossing over things, there are a lot of douche bags out there looking to spend their way out of yet another mid-life crisis by perfecting the mix of Twilight meets National Treasure meets Jersey Shore, and it's hurting the people who have real stories to share.
