Re: Independant film financing

To add to this, I've done two indie films this way, with investors in LLC's. Adam's structure is about standard, though I'll add a bit more detail. In indie-land, we'll usually pay back gross receipts...

Re:

What is this "internationally accepted" ad you speak of? ;) It does not exist. There's a large # of reasons that international sales are just that, sales to territories. And while money is one of them,...

Ephemera = Culture

Wow, great question. And while I understand that it's not in LoC's purview nor budget to catalog and archive what IS our ever-evolving digital culture at any given moment, it's a great point to be...

Voting with my (company) wallet

I've been very, very disappointed in Sony's behavior starting back with their CD rootkit, and escalating through this entire episode. Where you draw the line in treatment of both your audience, and...

Re: WhiteHouse petition!

I love how I've tried signing up/creating an account to sign petitions there 3 times and it somehow never sends me the confirmation email. Glad they're making it easy. /sarcasm

Re: Re: Fundamental Problem

Oh, and I'll adjust my argument. Obviously not ALL network and studio execs think/know their business models are in trouble. Some prefer life with their heads in their sand - most have 10, 20 years max...

Re:

This comment is a little disingenuous; I've licensed a LOT of music for traditional television and film use, and the terms Mike's talking about in my experience have been similar in negotiations. If...

Re:

You should believe it. The communication channels from union leaders to their members is generally awful, and once in a while bubbles up to only slightly bad. I've worked with a lot of IATSE members...

yeah, weird, neither has my "guild"

As it stands, I can't find any official position from the Producers Guild of America either. I asked for one on their Twitter stream, no answer yet; but don't expect one. It would be good to hear if we...

Thank you sir, May I have another?

Well, I wanted just one more reason to NOT shop at my local Lowes, and that about does it. Thanks for helping make my shopping decisions easy!

Sooo disappointed

I actually was hoping they were reviews by *real* sock puppets. That's a review I would watch; if perhaps not really listen to...
