Part of the problem is that, if you EVER work in a conservative movie, you will be blacklisted by the Hollywood establishment, whether you act, direct, script-write, or just work the lighting.
This changes when there is a critical mass of non-Left projects, enough to keep good people busy.
The Coronavirus killed off the momentum of the few that are out there. Some were starting to get lower-A list stars, so there was good acting.
Sounds good.
