Ava DuVernay told a BFI London Film Festival Screen Talk on Monday that "Hollywood is over," The Hollywood Reporter reports. Asked how filmmakers can finance work like hers, she pointed to crowdfunding and asking people directly, such as 20 people investing $5,000 each.

"They're buying each other, they're collapsing," DuVernay said of the studios, adding that artists and audiences will increasingly connect without a middleman. She is at the festival's 70th edition, which runs through October 18, with 14th, her new Netflix documentary on the 14th Amendment, a film she says she finished only two weeks ago.

Last night’s Emmys message was loud and clear: women’s talent has no expiration date. 🏆

The recognition is especially meaningful, since men are nearly 30% more likely than women to receive an Emmy nomination after age 50.

One night doesn’t erase Hollywood’s age gap, but it makes one thing unmistakably clear: women over 50 deserve rich roles, complex stories, and recognition – not as exceptions, but as the norm. 👏🏽
