@BrothFroth @Thrwboy @josiahhughes The value of labor doesn’t change based on the results of that labor. If the movie flopped she doesn’t have to give money back because the value of her labor went down.

She’s just begging for money which is fine but it’s begging.

@chakravartiiin @theducharme I don’t think it’s a lack of empathy. It feels bad faith to bring this up only after the movie gets big. I only made 7k for 20 days is also tone deaf. If you got did plumbing for a tech company that made it big later you wouldn’t expect them to retroactively give you equity

[el @LxJefe]

@CarrieCnh12 Lmao what does deserve even mean here. You do your job and you get paid what you agreed to get paid. Everyone held up their end of the deal.

The dude that fixed my plumbing doesn’t get a payout if when I sell my house

@whatadyke_ @Drillbit23 That’s well above median income in the US for a low budget film

[el @LxJefe]

@HereticArtwork @MancusiNathan @PotatoMcWhiskey You either contractually pay for equity with labor or with capital.

They could have exchanged guaranteed wages for equity they didn’t.

This whole debate is just begging for money with more steps.

@poochedegg @gothgfdotrip Already am. Cry harder

[el @LxJefe]

@poochedegg @gothgfdotrip You’re just not very smart. My argument is that people should get paid the wage they agreed upon when they agreed to do the work pursuant to their contract. Your argument is …idk random begging noises

[el @LxJefe]

@poochedegg @gothgfdotrip You’re entire argument is that they should get more money because it would be nice and it seems like you are incapable of second order thinking so I shouldn’t be surprised

[el @LxJefe]

@poochedegg @gothgfdotrip So you probably need to make the terms as attractive as possible for the few investors and producers you do have right.

Bro saw a dude think before he spoke and got outraged. Spurs in 6

[m @mcdanielsfc]

that stupid pause he does before every answer like he was asked something profound pisses me off

[el @LxJefe]

@poochedegg @gothgfdotrip If it makes no sense to pay back the amount initially agreed bc movie did bad then how does it make sense to pay more than the amount they agreed on bc movie did well. It’s just the corollary of what you’re saying.

[el @LxJefe]

@poochedegg @gothgfdotrip If the company built in something that gave everyone profit share then their initial investors would be less likely to take the risk because it reduces their potential profits and the movie might not get funded in the first place.

[el @LxJefe]

@poochedegg @gothgfdotrip How is the labor worth more if the movie does well but you said if the movie flopped the labor isn’t worth less because it’s still utilized?

The labor is worth the amount that was agreed upon.

@Djmoyer23 @futureproofgpt @jfwong As for greed. Everyone in this story is trying to get more money so I don’t see how the producer is greedy for keeping the money he’s entitled to but the lady isn’t greeting for saying she’s entitled to more money after she got paid for her labor already

[el @LxJefe]

@Djmoyer23 @futureproofgpt @jfwong Also yes the economics would have changed if they knew it would be a success but no one knew that and they baked that risk into everyone’s initial offer. You don’t get to wait until the gamble is over to decide which side of the bet you want to take.

@redshirt990 Acting classes and membership fees ?

Why don’t you add the cost of eating all the food they did throughout their life so they can survive long enough to audition for the role

[el @LxJefe]

@poochedegg @gothgfdotrip Like I said if someone wants to give her more money or give some to the dude who did the catering on set, that’s a nice gesture. But the idea that everyone who worked on something and was paid for their labor is entitled to profit share is dumb imo

[el @LxJefe]

@poochedegg @gothgfdotrip They sold their labor for a fixed price, why is that labor magically worth more because the movie did well?

Labor takes fixed pay for work while investors risk capital for upside.

People are asking for her to get upside without risking capital.

[el @LxJefe]

@poochedegg @gothgfdotrip Do they share in the loss too? If the company wants to be nice and give them more money, but to wait till the movie does well and then start online begging about how you deserve more money is lame. If the movie flopped she wouldn’t be returning money to cover costs.
