“My Hollywood experience was good and bad. The good side is working for big companies like Disney, which has to go through a lot of Hollywood procedures, learning about their point of view, how to green light a project, how to market a movie, and promotion strategy. But I don’t understand how they can waste so much money behind the screen.”
