"It speaks to a larger issue of brands not supporting independent artists and opting for folks who already have name recognition, which doesn't breed innovative films or original storytelling. If they wanted these shots that were similar to my shots, why not hire me to direct?"

-I would say it's because they don't care about innovation or the indie artist's shots.  Nike wanted to borrow some Obama female brand halo.

"no one wants to be the first person to bet on me — coupled with the fact that I'm young and don't have an established name"

-Yes, that's exactly right.  It's how the world works and blaming others is not going to fix it unless you go viral and get a big GoFundMe kitty due to going viral.

"Sometimes it can feel like filmmaking is something that's supposed to be a hobby for the wealthy rather than something that can actually be a career."

-Yes, the above is basically true.  The arts are less lucrative for most people.  Indie filmmakers need to own their choices.
