Andrew Haigh realizes prestige is just free labor
Andrew Haigh and Asif Kapadia leading 145 UK directors to demand residuals from US streamers is the ultimate 'I told you so.' I spent a month in meetings after my viral clip realizing those big shots just want to say they met you while they keep the change. These directors gave the streamers all the clout and the 'prestige' tags, and now they’re finding out the hard way that you can’t buy a house with a credit on a Netflix home screen. This letter is the industry finally waking up from the creative freedom coma. If you aren't getting paid when people hit play, you aren't a visionary—you're an intern with a better title.
