The Darkest Corner of Hollywood: How Obsession's Success Exposed a Culture of Exploitation The recent lawsuit filed by Leonora Ann Darby, an executive producer on the box office smash hit Obsession, has shed light on the darker side of Hollywood's production dynamics.
While the film's success story captivated audiences and industry insiders alike, with its scrappy indie production process and 26 year old writer director Curry Barker rising to stardom, a closer look reveals a disturbing pattern of exploitation and broken promises.
Darby claims she was cut out of her share of profits despite being the driving force behind Obsession's final edit and successful release.
