Does Cassandra do her own stunts in her films ?
In your Cass universe, do films use practical effects or is it all CGI?
How are films distributed, also?
Cassandra does, yes.
Practical effects
Those are used quite a lot, if they're cheaper than CGI, or more effective, or just generally more useful.
CGI
CGI is quite common, as sci-fi computers are capable of rendering some absolutely amazing graphics with relative ease.
Still, when your market is one that spans star systems, even a moderately budgeted production means a LOT of money is involved, allowing for elaborate sets, quality props and fancy effects. So no holo-deck shenanigans, you get proper sound stages and sets.
distribution
The production company will make a film, and advertise it throughout their own territory.
Then, copies of the film, for private viewing and theatres, will be distributed to subsidiaries in other systems or territories, who are another link in the distribution chain.
Because of the lack of FTL communications, films are shipped through similar routes as other interstellar communications, via data courier ships, and will be distributed by a local branch, subsidiary, or third party, to the customer.
Streaming services exist, but generally only within solar systems. Again, the lack of FTL communications makes having a physical, or at least downloaded copy, necessary for ship crews to be able to watch movies during down-time on an interstellar trip.
