What happens when a movie disappears into the abyss?
We’ve seen a disturbing trend happening in Hollywood over the past few months and maybe even years. Movies and TV shows are made and then taken off platforms so that major companies can take a write-off.
These projects disappear. Unless you are lucky enough to have them on physical media, you cannot watch them again.
If you worked on them, then you can no longer show friends, family, or potential people who may hire you the hard work you put into each project once they are gone.
The reason companies do this is purely financial. Since they are trying to inflate their stocks, they’re taking these projects as write-offs to take losses and find prosperity.
Disney has been at the forefront of this movement, wiping things off their platform if they decide they’re not profitable.
