Is it that difficult to understand that the problem is that the “little indie film” is grossing 250million and the people who actually produced the film ain’t seeing that?
The Obsession art director post. Man, what a choice.
One year total experience. Only credit pre-Obsession is a single short film. Sign on to a low budget indie. Agree to rate. Movie explodes. You're suddenly the Art Director fo the most talked about film of the year.
If this ever happens to you, let me give one piece of advice. Embrace it. Use the credit to fight off offers, get a BTL agent, turn those difficult three weeks into an incredible career.
Do NOT cut every connection you have to the filmmakers, put out tweets about how you wish you'd shut down their production, and complain about the rate you agreed to (which isn't even like $100 or some student film sketchiness).
Do you know how many indies I have done as an actor for $240/day? A fucking lot. Every single time I know what I'm getting into and I hope to god it turns out well and leads to another opportunity. I cannot even imagine getting cast in Obsession and then putting out a career ruining post about it instead of trying to leverage it into more work.
A black child was chased and executed from behind for being believed to having stolen bottles of water. Grown men chased him down and executed him over bottles of water. It breaks my heart, it fills me with rage and I can’t even imagine the pain his family feels. Hell on earth
Martin Scorsese has joined a generative AI startup as a partner and advisor.
He adds that he has used AI during pre-production to help with storyboarding — “with this tool, I can share what I’m visualizing more clearly & efficiently to my creative team — the production designer, art designer and cinematographer.”

46 people, including press, were arrested tonight at the Delaney Hall protest. The rationale was because they had helmets, masks and shields.
That’s not justification. That’s fascism.
I think it’s about time we wrestle with the fact that a lot of people got involved in revolutionary politics in part to avoid that necessary, inner-personal work that comes with adulthood.
I also don’t shy away from the fact that my work is deeply personal, but I stand by the fact that just because something happened to you it doesn’t make it interesting. The whole point of film is that it’s the execution of ideas that make it captivating, not the content.
