@av_fdx I hire skilled workers for “key roles.”

[Daniel Brown @ohhellodan]

Most skilled crew members would turn down a deal that paid less upfront for points on an indie movie.

[Alexander Valentin @av_fdx]

Before you sign a work-for-hire in a key role on a low budget, ask for equity. You can do that. A rep will do that. I just gave you one less reason to need a rep. Saved you from paying commission. You’re welcome.

Sincerely,
A Rep

@Truth_Quest30 @LukeBarnett @JosephKahn Different rules. Lots of commercials don’t have talent deliver lines on camera so who is and isn’t an extra can get litigated. Basically if you can recognize their face, expect fees. It’s a nightmare. And how you get shots like this:

@artwithinpod They also don’t engage with technology in the same way. They hear “it’s a tool like when a camera came along” and that probably resonates.

@Shout92 @unikunka The Flintstones was still popular in syndication and the chewables are still in stores.

SPOILER ALERT: This post contains details on the Euphoria Season 3, Episode 8 finale on HBO.

Angus Cloud’s Fezco O’Neill was a big part of #Euphoria during its first two seasons as one of Rue’s (Zendaya) closest friends.

The actor died in 2023 from “acute intoxication” at the age of 25 in Oakland, California. Sam Levinson paid tribute to the actor at the beginning of Season 3, and the finale also had a nod to Fez

I’ve still never used ChatGPT. It’s unbelievably easy not to.

This weekend is nothing new and old as filmmaking. Every great success is tied to the same story. Taking a chance on emerging talent. Somehow the business convinced itself they could Marvel their way through it. This isn’t a new paradigm. It’s should be a signal to return.

@HippchenK @ERCboxoffice Masters has never been successful outside of the original show so not a bellwether for anything. If Toy Story 5 drops then there’s some real soul searching.

Hollywood has always looked at the culture around them for story inspiration. Even The Fast and the Furious started life as an article on street racing.

[priyanka🍦 @pridesai]

wrote this because Hollywood now is jsut repackaging internet media and subcultures to the masses (many of which take years to build). this will only will continue and grow

I have decided to drop out of the AI program at Amazon. I will not be making a Punky Duck series. Actions speak louder than words.

My intent was to showcase artists, both new and seasoned, both inside and outside the studios, driving this new tech.

My sincerest apology to those I upset. I promise to do better moving forward. Thank you for your patience with me. I will try harder.

This is reminding me of when Split led into Get Out. That 1-2 punch of a great horror movie preceded by a great trailer for different horror movie.
