When people compare resumes and declare that Effie should be listening to Pete in that argument, they forget that <br />1) much of Farrelly's are medium-to-big budget films from at least a decade ago (it'd be no different listening to Roland Emmerich in this matter). In fact comparing recent resumes Effie has the "edge" because of Dear White People.<br />2) Effie has more experience working with small scale budget films than Pete and was put in charge of the budget by the HBO Films exec, who supports Effie 100 percent in this matter.<br />3) Farrelly is obviously going to have more name recognition because his name is tagged on the poster of all his films. Nobody checks or remembers who structured for your favorite films.<br /><br />If Effie committed an error, it's that she was too patient with Jason going over her head not once but twice; well aware that such a freakout or rant would turn her into the tried-and-true "angry black woman" reality show rant.
