Wow, loved your video man. Have to admit, the gatekeeping thing happens everywhere. Whenever you find a market, someone is taking over and putting lower prices to destroy the competition and then increasing when they conquer. It's always the same and you have to somehow perform better than they do (with less money). It's an incredible challenge to compete nowadays, specially in an industry with such high budgets like the film industry, but nonetheless, there's always hope and we must continue to push for better. It's the only way forward. Every now and then, a small budget gem comes out and a new talent is born, and then some old hack flops hard and goes away. It's just a cycle and participating in it, is just like a sport. One day you will create something and be proud of it, and that my friend, will make it all worth it.
thanks for watching and taking the time to engage! yeah, i think you're right about gatekeepers appointing themselves wherever a market emerges. maybe i'm wrong but i feel like writers and would-be filmmakers are uniquely susceptible just because of how vulnerable writing and filmmaking can be.
@@narrativebynature No, you are right, it's a lot harder to prove yourself in something artistic than something material. I just said that gatekeepers will always exist, sadly. The kings never give up their hills.
I am sorry to tell you decide is not related with suicide, it is an artifact of the english language that they look similar. Decide comes from decidĕre that is to resolve or to cut but in homicide that cide comes from caedĕre that means to kill.
thanks for watching! and for your comment. here's what etymologynerd (www.etymologynerd.com/blog/choices) says: "The verb decide has deadly interesting origins. Though it came through Middle English deciden, Old French decider, and Latin decidere, you can tell that there's the prefix de-, kind of meaning "off". This was in the language as far as etymologists can trace it, and is either from Etruscan or Proto-Indo-European. It's the other part of decide that's surprising: -cide. Yup, as you may have guessed, this is the same -cide present in words like homicide, suicide, regicide, fratricide, genocide, and all those other euphemistic terms for nasty kinds of death. All the roots trace to the Latin verb caedere, meaning "to cut". The death-related words are connected because of the correlation between "cut" and "kill", a side meaning which later evolved from the word, and decide is connected because when you make a choice, you cut out all the other possible choices. So it sort of makes sense, right? Caedere comes from Proto-Italic kaido, from Proto-Indo-European kehid, which meant something more like "strike"."
