It applies to many industries - not just filmmaking or even the arts. But there has been a lot of work done on the importance of psychic income in the film industry: http://www.mediawave.tv/site/item.cfm?item=D7853B42C29F442E68DB91B16F545F36 What would be useful is if someone were to follow up with Tropfest finalists - to see if their "exposure" actually amounted to something (i.e. offset the deferred income that the filmmakers would have earned if they had worked in a different industry instead).
