On the creating-art side: artistic works are tricky to sell compared to problem-solving goods (try defining the benefits vs features of, say, a print of Wheat Field With Crows), and it's a field where demand is frequently outstripped by supply.

I've worked in movies for 20 years and those are the two biggest problems that keep hitting me.

On the helping-artists side: There's plenty of space within the film world for startups, and plenty of startups or small tech companies. Most of them are hardware-based, though.
