How do you know someone is someone you are going to work with for the long term?
How do you know each other is capable of being supportive of what the other has to be doing?
What are things needed to make this unique relationship work?
The latest installment of my Film Courage interview attempts to answer precisely that:
Our goal producing today should be to get our movies MADE well, SEEN widely, and COMPENSATED fairly.
We need to support all four legs: Artists, Audiences, Industry, and Investors.
The best thing we can do is to make sure that investors receive a risk appropriate return.
Check out all the details in this video (never mind the pretty flowers):
One year ago today, I gave this speech.
I REALLY like this video. It was a great way to start my morning. Brian Newman had tipped me to it, but it had sat in my ToWatch box too long. Glad it escaped.
EncyclepdiaPictura seem to be part of a growing wave of mind-blowing filmmakers and artists hellbent on accessing the deep recesses of our lizard brain. When Corbin slipped me the first taste of their work (knife) I time travelled back to my march through Utah’s Paria Canyon in my late teens when I was covered in mud and feeling akin to the Yeti as I scared the various more sane hikers who expected to commune with common nature. Awww, fond memories. Bjork since found them and they gave her a great 3D vid too.
I travelled again last week, and although I wasn’t stuck on the tarmac for 4.5 hours this time, I did have a cancelled flight and several hours delay. Brian Eno’s music needs an update. Life in airports has changed. It does feel like a bit like this great video though. Somehow I found the ending quite sad.
There’s also a good little interview with Cornelius at the Mangobot blog.
