The Nepotism Paradox: Film Industry Data Exposes the Uncomfortable Truths The Locarno Pro industry program's kick off event in Switzerland recently highlighted the uncomfortable realities of the film industry.
Data analyst Stephen Follows presented his findings on the prevalence of "nepo babies" among this century's top grossing films, revealing that 70% of these films have had at least one "nepo baby creative" involved.
This high percentage is not solely due to nepotism; rather, it stems from access and opportunity. Having family connections can significantly impact one's chances of success in the industry.
