Option B: Technology & Film
Throughout the past several decades the film industry has been known for its increasingly diversified combination of two worlds. One entailing of the unique artistic expression of producers, while the other faced by the commercialization behind funders. Within time these two sides have tugged and pulled the potentially true underlying aspects of film, creating room for a capitalistic overtaking within the industry.
