The challenges in directing an original motion picture production correspond directly to the lack of willingness to experiment with new or first time directors.  With the overall responsibility for turning words on a page into a compelling motion picture, the stakes are high, both artistically and financially.

Now consider that the median average income of salaried directors and producers was $46,240, compared to the average cost to produce a motion picture, and the incentives for taking a gamble on an unseasoned director, much less a first time director, are not inspiring, at least from financial perspective.

Despite this apparent dilemma, there are many examples of first time and unseasoned directors that have gone on to create some of the most influential works of cinema early in their careers.  With the proper system in place, we believe a motion picture production company could actively create opportunities for these directors cost effectively.
