John Altschuler, the co-showrunner of Silicon Valley and King of the Hill, wants Europe to show more respect to writers.
Watch on DeadlineAltschuler outlined the differences between European and Hollywood production systems – and was particularly down on how Europe views scriptwriters and showrunners.
America has a writing culture – everything from Hollywood has always been about the writer and the script.
“I believe there are underlying strengths of the Hollywood system you do not have here, and there is also a feeling towards art and culture we don’t have in America,” he said.
“There were frustrating things about it, but that is something that is a little bit lost now.”The role ultimately brought Judge, Altschuler and Krinsky to Silicon Valley and the culture of technologists.
