@Thomas_Redacted @MTGraveStudio Your characters have archetypes. You did not create those archetypes. Originality comes in how you use those archetypes to trigger reactions in the viewer. A truly original character would be unfamiliar to viewers and less effective in triggering those reactions.

@Chuck_Petras @gothburz You’re not alone.

My movie’s North American trailer just dropped on Rue Morgue:

If this movie makes $100 million, I’ll probably get a few million of that and I promise to share it with our art director who doesn’t exist b/c we couldn’t afford to spend another $6700.

@BrianMcquery @VanTheBrand That’s what separates the cast & crew who are prepared from the cast & crew who are unprepared. The former will have shorter days; the latter longer days. And that applies to everyone from producer to PA.

Jacked (June 30) dir. John Fucile
• Limited Theaters
In the Summer of 1987, after a perfect day at the lake, two small-town teenagers are stuck with a broken-down car and in a fight for their lives when they cross paths with a violent stalker.

@Hwdgfly @JoePeabody @Big_Mark_Photo How did you come to the conclusion that $10m is the same as $10k?

I don’t know what poorfaces means. I’m an adult so I’m not familiar with the current schoolyard lingo.

[Simon Fraser IV @SimonFraser4]

@justinmclachlan @mkobach You can’t blame someone for mistaking an asshole for a dummy. Such a fine line.

[Simon Fraser IV @SimonFraser4]

@JoePeabody @Big_Mark_Photo @Hwdgfly “Independent” means “not funded by a studio.” It doesn’t matter where else the financing came from. Not from a studio = independent.

Whether a budget is shoestring or not depends on what you’re trying to achieve and how you’re trying to achieve it.

@SophyRomvari @MetaReflexive We do.

@minhsmind The companies that put millions into P&A are far more responsible for a 100+ million box office than G&E or the HMU dept.

[Simon Fraser IV @SimonFraser4]

@minhsmind There was. They were paid what they agreed to be paid. The movie could’ve bombed and they’d still have been paid what they agreed to be paid.

@SpaceBoy458 If you’ve been exhibiting movies long enough and tracked tf out of subscriber behaviour, you can ballpark projections for how much revenue a new movie with tracked attachments will likely generate.

[Simon Fraser IV @SimonFraser4]

@ChrisAlvino @mikeastahl You don’t know that you’re “underpaid” until the movie does well which is in the future when you agree to a work for hire. It could have bombed and they’d still be getting 6K. I think they’ll book more gigs b/c they were a key on this one.

[Simon Fraser IV @SimonFraser4]

@jstein_star You think it’s compensatory that victims should bankroll the criminals who victimized them?

[Simon Fraser IV @SimonFraser4]

@egirlian @missmayn No idea what this is supposed to mean.
“hi how are you?”
“I’m good, you?”
Mic drop.

[Simon Fraser IV @SimonFraser4]

@egirlian @missmayn The Internet continued because it was not an Internet bubble. It was a websites bubble.
