From the supplier: Hollywood has become a 'relationship business' rather than a 'business business,' a reality that has negatively affected the image of the African-American filmmaker. In such a 'relationship business,' the profit motive is only a component, while status is of prime importance. Thus, African-American films are never seen as vehicles of glamour, prestige or celebrity. They are also believed to generate limited local business and have almost no foreign box office potential.
