Netflix Restructures Film Units, Cuts Output to Focus on Quality
Netflix's film division has entered a new era of austerity with the departure of long-time executive Lisa Nishimura. Nishimura oversaw the streamer's original films, including documentaries, rom-coms, and indie features. Her exit is part of a larger restructuring effort aimed at streamlining film efforts and reducing confusion. The move comes as Netflix scales back production and focuses on bigger-budget, higher-quality films to maintain its consumer audience and reduce subscriber churn.
