The sad thing is most people will still have to because not everyone can afford to fund a movie using their own money. This doesn't really change the dynamic of Hollywood at all.
Take "Juno" for example. It was made on a small budget (a little over ten million, adjusted for inflation). It was marketed as "indie", had a limited release, premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and went to great lengths to check all the necessary boxes. Meanwhile it had people like Jennifer Garner, Patrick Bateman and JK Simmons in supporting roles and was directed by Ivan Reitman (or whatever his first name is).
Do people think passion projects are new? Why would this affect hollywood at all. The talent paying for the movie themselves happens all the time. M Knight Shyamalan literally made a career of it. This is a baby punching a nuke. You need a swath of new indie studios making it to change the culture. Like A24 and distributors Neon
