Wow is that some tortured writing. This paragraph needs serious help:

> To say there is an uncomfortable air of fear in security is one (perhaps overblown) thing. To see the largest and only production of its kind, with hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line and an entire secondary production company locked in silent rapture under lit signage for Mountain Dew, the entire project gloriously rupturing like the belly of the Bismark – that is another. To be ushered by muted fear and nervous glances, to stand in desolate directors rooms filled with black screens and empty chairs. Darkened judging stands. Color-coded team challenge floors, soon to be dismantled, but left intact in the hopes that some shimmering archangel would descend and reinvigorate the eleven indie developers currently revolting against Maker Studios inside their rented Winnebagos.




I gave up after this point and came here for the TL;DR.


You should just skip over the first few paragraphs and keep reading; the writing improves pretty quickly.


I second that. I have no idea what first paragraphs are about, but it gets better after that.


Came here to check if I was the only one. It was utterly incomprehensible, made all the worse by the author being so full of himself.
