Because it's an oligopolistic system. Either you go through them and get your movie made, and maybe people will go see it, and maybe you'll get yourself some money. Or you don't, and get nothing. That's why, in many countries, cinema is subsidized by the government (in extenso, it's paid for by the people of said countries).
