From the contractual language for the DGA’s “Pilot directed by” credit:

“The position of the "Pilot Directed by" credit shall be determined by the Employer…”

So that answers the question of positioning. It’s wherever. Which means probably in the secondary credits at the end.

Yikes.

Senior administration officials are briefing reporters on Iran right now:

"One of the really cool things and interesting things about this entire process is that we actually have a direct relationship with a number of people at the highest levels of the Iranian government."

[Robert King @RKing618]

@missyjack Exactly. It’s a weird time to add a “Pilot directed by” credit when most shows are going without pilots.

[Robert King @RKing618]

According to the DGA contract summary: “Television Directors will now benefit from a new "Pilot Directed By" credit across the life of a series.”

But how is this a benefit for the director of that episode? There are now two director credits on an episode they directed alone. And wasn’t the DGA always arguing that their creative power came from the primacy of one director, one show? Weird. And where does this new credit get placed?

[Robert King @RKing618]

@cincopedia Agreed. And I think it will have the opposite effect. DGA was always correct: the more single the director credit, the more prominence and power derived from it.

By the way, congratulations on the Tonys. You’re an inspiration to Showrunners everywhere.

[Robert King @RKing618]

@FilmBuffRich Yes, often. And money.

Extraordinary series of photos of this architectural masterpiece. Great photos from 1880s and 30s of the building.

Good movie.

[DepressedBergman @DannyDrinksWine]

Eddie Muller screened "Armored Car Robbery" (1950) in his first Film Noir Festival [in 1998?] with Richard Fleischer as the guest of honour. Fleischer hadn't seen the movie after he completed post production in 1950. He was nervous about seeing it completely for the first time. Just before the lights went down, Fleischer told Muller, "I'm afraid, I will be embarrassed".

After watching the movie completely, Fleischer smiled and said, "Not bad. I gotta say not bad for a kid just starting out."

("Noir Alley", Eddie Muller, TCM)

P.S: On this day, 76 years ago, "Armored Car Robbery" (1950) was released in the USA.

An amazing story. Also the way he was abandoned is angering.

Good luck this weekend, Cinco. All the attention is well-deserved.

@IncelGostoso I’m into meritocracy. If you have better artwork you should win. But someone who is rich and steals art work and then sells it in a melted-down version to others should not win. That is not meritocracy.

Is Martin Scorsese being paid in his advisory role?

Because I know a lot of artists who will be losing their pay after this. All storyboard artists.

[Black Forest Labs @bfl_ai]

Martin Scorsese is an advisor to Black Forest Labs.

He's spent six decades shaping how the world sees stories. Now he's helping us shape visual intelligence with human taste and craft at the center.

We sat down with him for a working storyboarding session using FLUX.

The full speech. It’s a lot of fun. It’s also fun to hear the Harvard censor try to cut all the “fucks” in “Fuck AI.”
