Have I made any mistakes?

Writer Tom Turtle refused to attend the premiere of the film made after his novel, because he claimed that the director had misinterpreted the novel and had made the film that had nothing to do with the book. It made him sick to see that the blind pursue for profit was destroying literature and art.
