The balls are the same colour. Only the lines are coloured. We don’t see the world as it is, we see it as our brain compiles it using efficient systems designed to keep us fit, not accurate. So whatever you think you know, think again.

@MrMJSanders The mysteries of ‘X’!

[Justin Tagg @justintagg]

Totally agree - we made ‘Lapwing’ for 1/30th (if that) of this budget and released theatrically in the UK, as well as on-demand across the US and Europe. It’s a mission, but if we’d needed £3m to get started we never would.

[Alice Lowe @alicelowe]

'it takes £3M to make a first feature'. does it?! feel like there are quite a few filmmakers who'd happily make a film for less than that but they don't get a chance

[Justin Tagg @justintagg]

@MrMJSanders That’s the balance - not every film can be made for low budgets as nobody makes any money. It’s the idea that first features can only be funded at those levels that causes an issue, as it blocks development.

[Justin Tagg @justintagg]

@MrMJSanders Absolutely agree - which is why the idea a debut costs £3m is misguided. It assumes films are standardised - which they’re not.

[Justin Tagg @justintagg]

@MrMJSanders Thank you - an incredible team spirit and lots of creative solutions made it possible. And choosing a subject/approach that was kind on the budget didn’t hurt.

[Justin Tagg @justintagg]

@iamjimpage @alicelowe @nevpierce @steinerdrome 100%! Sadly, funding is often short-sighted. Young filmmakers need space to take risks and play. When the metrics for success are weighted towards profit, rather than developing talent, the creative output overall suffers. We need more voices to be heard, not less

[DEVOID @Devoid_Art]

@chrishainstock Still on Vimeo - was hosted by CG Bros on YouTube as they had a presence and I didn't have a channel.

[Justin Tagg @justintagg]

Hey all - my short film MOUSE-X has switched YT channels and has lost all likes/comments - which sucks. We're now with Short of the Week and would really appreciate you checking it out.

Question: Who are you, if you're not the only you? https://t.co/cAaSQNzsZC #scifi #shortfilm

🤯Regular reminder—REALITY is not what our brains actually reproduce.

Infuriatingly TRUE—nothing is actually. moving. Put a pen tip or paperclip at any point to measure.
