Outside the Hollywood studio system-in France, for example-directors whose reputations are built on artistic merit, as opposed to bankability, frequently have final cut on their movies. In America there are only some acclaimed, but not necessarily bankable directors, such as Woody Allen , Alexander Payne and Malick Terrence , who enjoy final cut. [2] [3] Sometimes nonbankable directors get final cut privilege when making a film on a low budget.
