Nodash noted this in a recent interview with NAN, claiming that noted that the industry has made tremendous progress and is beginning to get deserved attention, though it cannot prove to have made excellent films. He noted however that the industry needs to sustain the attention it is getting for the next three years by doing something spectacular projects with the available resources.
