But it must really suck to create something that well received and then have to watch as the Director or Producer butchers it all to Hell and gone.

I imagine the cost of making a film would prevent anyone trying to go it outside the normal channels. Even if that were somehow possible it would still have to be distributed properly to really go anywhere and they probably have a lock on that too.

People like J.R.R. Martin and a few others seem to have gotten control of the process somehow but it apparently took a long time and a string of excellence in previous work to even have a shot at it.
