Neon's Tom Quinn Worries About Lack of Competition in Merged Hollywood

Summary: Neon CEO Tom Quinn recently spoke out against big Hollywood mergers. He argued that giant movie studios have too much middle management and debt, which stops them from taking creative risks. He joked that he wouldn't survive a day in a big corporation, where 50-person video calls happen without a single decision being made. He also dislikes the idea of algorithms running entertainment. Instead, Quinn wants his independent company, Neon, to stay small and focused on high quality. He compared Neon's strategy to the famous 10-seat sushi restaurant from the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi—they will never add more seats or move out of the subway, they just want to make the line of fans longer.
