Screenwriting Styles
I think the art of storytelling has been limited to what the conventional industry wants to hear. There must be room created for all kinds of approaches to storytelling. We are in the 21st century and our imagination must be in accordance with our inventions.

Reality Bites
Bad news: The industry is worse than a bank. Why? Because breaking even or little profit in Hollywood is not good enough. You need to take someone else's money...albeit a ridiculous sum of money...and return a huge profit to become a legitimate player.
It's just what it is. Why take a chance on your unconventional script, when I can spend money on a guaranteed (recycled) story and see immediate and large profits?
My advice would be similar to what I'm trying to do. Cover all bases. Write your Hollywood scripts and your independent and very personal ones. Try to get the indies made yourself, and try to market the Hollywood ones for sale. A true writer writes. So get cracking and cover all your bases.
