@sahib14384912 ep are often time the one putting up the money. sure they can have some says in the story but most just want to invest.
my guess is that he just put up the money as an investment. and no creatives was involved from him as he did ep first season and the 2nd.
technology was meant to disenchant the world but instead we use it to enchant others. media was always a form of communication just like how we use bone to carved on stones.
i directed a 300k comedy film. It was quite difficult and had to overly compromised on the story side. I found myself trying to meet the budget and make the budget work than actually telling a good story. Constrant is good for creativity. Too much constraint is not.
it's possible but i would never burn 400k on a movie. There's a reason why low budget film that blows up are in the horror genre. But imo. Budget don't matter. Whatever the story is matter more and build on top of that.
itโs not exactly gate keep. just illusions. lack of agency creatives just chose an easier route by going traditional route or do same shit like everyone else but expect different results.
they rather blame lack of opps sometime on gatekeepers because itโs easier than actually express a good story. pitch a good story.
@joecarlsonshow shooting film vs youtube video is 2 different skill. It's why it's quite rare when a true director comes out of youtube scene.
one is optimized for story telling and the other is optimized for algo. More to come for sure but there's a lot of unlearning bad habits imo!
a brain dumb while im watching this but i think there is a brewing of an identity crisis i feel like. 2008 was financial crisis. 2028 is probably maybe identity crisis when everyone is laid off. What you do is not who you are. who you are is full of the people u meet and connected with. Think we losing a lot of human connection and getting distracted by the busyness of this world and also misunderstanding connection vs attention too. a bunch of things.
we are all feeling alone so we look for togetherness in community but certain community like companies, startup etc isn't rooted in love. It's all opposite. and i feel like this wants and needs for 3rd place is a reaction to survive this crisis and the community has to be opposite of what's the world look like right now. No competition for attention, validation or control. No need to be overly nice/positive as way of manipulation to get something or positive as negotiation.
i also think an aspect that we as human needs to be "functional" but sometime functional doesn't breed authenticity its just a bunch of negotiation tactics. true authenticity is not something u need to ask for permission to exist. since we constantly need to negotiate and adjusting our tone so we dont get expelled create such a lonely feeling in current world "community"
i think the way to combat this is be rebellious to a lot of things being push on you right now. Which is like high performing and always optimizing for things. we can't let caplistic thinking bleed into our relationship with real people. We need human connection to be a human and feel true fulfilment. but just thinking out loud
