@mattworkman@ChrilleMagnetic@dubcreationX@jason_blum Just throwing in here that 9/10 burnout related deaths are happening on union shoots. The union unfortunately does very little to protect against overworking and the bloat on union jobs usually contributes to longer days, albeit with a slightly better paycheck.
@MattiHaapoja There isn’t any reason for them to buy it, Arri isn’t doing anything that any of them couldn’t do on their own. What makes them special is that they were a low margin business focused on product/support/service. It’s not like Sony couldn’t replicate that, they just don’t want to.
A friend and I made a short film to as a stress test for a show we are developing. I spent my entire childhood making dumb videos for YouTube. I'm excited to try and make it a sustainable place for my narrative projects as well! https://t.co/E6SR4Ta81W
@MuadFree @andrewbstern@HubPointless This is the very end of the west side highway which comprises of traffic from Jersey, Hudson valley and uptown Manhattan. It just looks short because the neighborhood to its left was added in the 90s
@MuadFree @andrewbstern@HubPointless There is an entrance to a tunnel in the middle of the street that goes under and around the bottom of Manhattan reemerging in the middle of the highway on the other side. There is also a tunnel that leads to Brooklyn off the side. Heavy traffic is rare here.
Announcing Brass Knuckle Films: an investable slate of action films, where, for the first time, I will develop my next set of movies with you—action film fans—as real co-investors and collaborators. Fans can finally get a piece of the action.
Here’s how it works ↓
YouTube is the biggest podcasting platform in the world.
It's the biggest music service in the world.
It's the biggest video service in the world.
It's the biggest entertainment platform ever.

@ryanbooth This reminds me a lot of the music industry. Organizations abusing their connections/sway in the industry to push predatory loans that would be unheard of in any other industry. I dont get why so much strife is required for 10 million dollars, a small seed investment to some.
@valentinavee Is this not just a sign that building an audience, taking the time to make passion projects and not just music videos and commercials, is going to be the main way forward in the future.
To every writer, director, and comedian out there PLEASE stop calling your project a web series. IT’S A SHOW. WHY DOES ROKU GET TO CALL WHAT THEY MAKE A SHOW AND FOR SOME REASON YOURS IS A WEB SERIES BECAUSE IT’S ON YOUTUBE. YOU PROBABLY HAVE MORE VIEWERS! YOU MADE A SHOW.
@ryanbooth Funny example. I worked on a documentary with a very prominent rapper, in one of the interviews he said he has to have his pockets full of money to record. If he doesn't, the vibe will be off and the music sucks. Irrational, totally, but it works for him so why not.
@ryanbooth So my litmus test is now, "why not". If the why not is better for the film, I shoot digital. I've shot frames on and FX3 w/ Filmbox that I could never tell weren't shot on film. (below) But if the why not is less important I know it's the right thing to do because it feels right.
