I hope that practices will improve but it does seem like it is so deeply entrenched in our culture. "Commercial success was deemed even more important than creativity and artistry." That says it all - when artists have to put commercial success before creativity certainly they are not going to be putting any extra time (and therefore money) into setting up some sort of foundation for a sustainable plan. It is sad that we are so driven by profit that we lose what is important. Thanks for the great post, Dave!

I'd imagine that eventually sustainable practices could save the film industry money. Businesses all over are starting to find that sustainability is good for business and helps them make more money.
