Hollywood may be grappling with painful change but for Roeg Sutherland, co-Head of CAA’s Media Finance department and its International Film Group, the disruption represents an opportunity for the independent film sector that he has supported for the past two decades. “If there’s true disruption in the marketplace, it means that not enough movies are being made by the studios.
