A documentary on how Hollywood treats the VFX artists it covets.
Hollywood’s Greatest Trick
Visual effects artists have created some of the most iconic moments in movie history. It’s so lucrative for the Big Six studios, that the top 10 highest grossing films of 2016 garnered over $9 billion alone. But to have us believe these visual effects artists share in this success? That’s Hollywood’s greatest trick of all.

There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
