Having a large entity with deep pockets (like a studio) to foot the bill until money rolls in makes this easier.

You understand, that's not a studio anymore, that's just a bank, a crappy bank that charges insane interest.

Let's start moving away from this nightmarish Weinstein-esque model and move towards one that's a little less orphan-crushing-machine.

Yes, money will be hard, especially at first, doubly-especially for scifi and similar expensive things, but it has to be better than this, and the fx studios are getting crushed by the studios as well.
