18 years ago today, Jaÿ-Z became the first rapper to headline Glastonbury and trolled Oasis when they said rap had no place there. He came on stage playing their song Wonderwall then flipped it into 99 Problems and destroyed the stage.
Assume the movie had flopped and the director lost his entire $750,000 investment. How many crew members would have voluntarily returned their fees to help offset his loss?
This is the fundamental asymmetry in risk and reward. When someone puts up their own capital and shoulders the real financial risk especially in a high-failure industry like entertainment they alone bear the downside.
Yet the moment the project succeeds, suddenly everyone who was paid upfront wants a bigger piece of the pie. The same people who would not have shared in the loss now feel entitled to share disproportionately in the upside.
If you accept payment for your work regardless of outcome, you’ve already been compensated for your risk (or lack thereof). Why should the person who risked everything not be allowed to reap the rewards when their gamble pays off?
PM2AM is what happens when community meets collaboration. Every event is powered by a collective of in-house collaborators, alongside a community of party lovers who show up ready to have a good time.
