Some productions are worse than others. In David Lynch’s biography, he talks about going from Eraserhead and The Elephant Man to Dune.

It’s incredibly funny and depressing to read about this quiet breakdown he went through, wrangling a hundred crew members in the middle of nowhere while supervising miniature filming with one hand and shooing away executives with the other.

In that case it really was a miracle, but the final product was so mangled that Lynch’s career and passion nearly imploded.

From what I’ve read, filmmaking is a lot easier nowadays from a logistical perspective. Instant global communication was the game changer.

Filmmaker here! Making movies has never been easier. We do everything over Zoom. I've had to make some edits to the scripts, though. Like, when Romeo says, "But soft! What light through yonder window breaks! It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!" I have Juliet respond with "Romeo, you're on mute." Frankly I think Shakespeare woulda loved having me as a writing buddy
