I’ve produced 6 movies and the same independent reviewer has given a “rotten” review to every single one. He just broke our 100% Rotten Tomatoes score and while I didn’t expect it to hold, it’s starting to feel personal. Roger, please, if you see my name, avoid! You will hate it.
A very unusual development illustrating how high the stakes are, Disney's Bob Iger, WBD's David Zaslav, Netflix Ted Sarandos & Universal's Donna Langley are all present at today's big AMPTP-WGA talks. Scoop via @katiekilkenny7 & @Snoodit https://t.co/b1WXEp3deA
Gotta love @GetSpectrum - they claim unpaid $55 for services/connection never rendered from April 2020 - sent it to collections. Not only can I not track or access said account, nor received any information on this until THREE YEARS LATER, they’ve now damaged my credit 70 points!
A man in Texas shot and killed his girlfriend after she traveled to Colorado to have an abortion.
In a state which will allow a man charged with assault to have a gun, but won’t allow the woman he assaulted to get an abortion… sadly, this tracks.
I said to him “ when I start directing I’m going to need a man like you”. He said I shall await the contact.
I was 25 when I said that. Although a few opportunities came my way to direct a movie, nothing ever solidified until 2013, then 49, and all the elements came together
He was famously dry witted. Completely reliable. A sage collaborator. A man of warmth, observation and insight.
I loved him very much.
Everyday on a set with Chris was a day of achievement.
Chris Webb has passed away.
I share his families grief.
and we were able to finance the production of The Water Diviner.
Once we knew the money was there I was able to start putting together my crew.
I phoned Chris, told him of the situation and asked if he’d be onboard, his reply “ ofcourse, I’ve been expecting your call. “
Every day I set 3 major "To Do's" that are non-negotiable for my goals as an artist / entrepreneur.
Today's are:
1. Feature script editing (creative)
2. Blog & podcast creation (audience building)
3. AI color grading product dev (business growth)
Every day looks very different, but there is always a focus on the 3 main pillars: Creative output, audience reach, and business development.
When I told people I wanted to make a feature film with no crew, they said it would never get finished.
Now it's done, about to premiere, and is my favorite project to date.
Follow your instincts.
