Have millennial filmmakers already been surpassed by zoomers?

>>220973596>Gen Z actually thinks Millennials were the filmmakers responsible for all the capeslop that came out in the past 10 years
>>220973818So what were millenials doing in all that time?

>>220973865Millennials were largely shut out of major creative roles, due to economic downturn as they were entering the workforce leading to companies wanting to stick with the tried and true Gen X + Boomer combo that had been working for the prior 15 years. Zoomers grew up as kids during the era of having access to almost literally endless amounts of instructional videos for free on the internet, combined with the boom of self-employed creative internet jobs. When millennials wwre teenagers and early 20somethings, shit was a lot more limited. Were you an animator? You could post your stuff on Newgrounds, for free, for a very small audience. Selling online commissions was a rarity, due to lack of exposure, a lack of a culture around paying for custom video/art/animation on the internet, and fewer people even having a means to actually pay (up until the ubiquity of PayPal, most people would've had to have sent a fucking check or money order). Millennials and Xillennials got fucked in that they helped establish the internet culture in which zoomer creatives can flourish, but the overwhelming majority of them were too late to really be able to fully capitalize on it. Seriously, even for shit like fanart, the stuff that teenagers can produce today would have been among the top 0.01% of art produced for the internet back in 2003, because there's so much more easily available instruction, and it is much easier to actually make money off of and get exposure for whatever you produce.

>>220973865>>220974198The last time corpos trusted a millenial with their own OC project and it became big was Cartoon Network trusting Craig McCracken, and that was twenty years ago.
>>220974321Don't forget Damien Chazelle. Probably the best millennial director.
>>220974328Bro are you okay? Craig McCracken is early Gen X. He's older than my father and I'm a millennial for fucks sake
>>220974380>Don't forget Damien Chazelle. Probably the best millennial director.meds, now.
>>220974399Zoomers will never create anything as good as La La Land.
>>220974471ive seen source filmmaker porn that's better than la la land, that movie is trash
>>220974328CMcC is very much a Gen Xer. But that said, it seems like only now are millennials becoming more of a "force" in the creative industry, probably because most of them started off on the traditional career path, which really did not do them any favors. The idea of being a teenager, making a fan animation for YouTube, and getting hired for a professional paid animation gig from basically that alone was almost literally not even a thing back in 2005. If you had a viral, quality animation or video, you'd make it to the front page of NG or have a trending video on YouTube, and... congrats! Now you have more 13 year olds pestering you to make more. No indie studio was knocking at your door, no partner check was coming in, no sponsors wanting to pay you for a plug. Maybe you were lucky enough to become a viral meme and get in a commercial or something, like Tay Zonday, but very very few, if any, studio executives were checking out YT to find promising young directors or animators.
