Heard the city of LA's Summit about fixing the film business didn't go well. Lots of word salad, not a lot of solutions. Here are some easy fixes that will help us in CA pivot towards the future without costing a dime, California Film Commission: Remove the barriers to entry. Right now filmmakers need 60% of thier budget banked before applying. This means any project debt financing first money in can't apply. Any project that hasn't cash-flowed over half of their budget can't even apply. This is virtually every Indie production that isn't backed by a hedgefund or large angel investor. Create a new tier for Low Budget work: under 2 million dollars. Let the Studio movies come in and gobble up the 3+ million funds with a handful of projects. Keep your studio bosses happy, while providing a platform for new voices, new business models, and true film differeniation. Open up Tax Credit qualificaition to ATL workers. This might chase away the George Clooney's of the world, but celebrity isn't what it once was. Now the star is the film itself, the brand, the IP. Have more hits shot in CA, and the needle will move.

I have lost site of far too many incredible creatives & freelancers as a result of hosting my blackbook in badly organised favourites tabs across multiple gmail addresses that I no longer have access to. 😢🫠How about no more “who was that amazing 3D person we used on that job 3 years ago to do titles exploration. I can’t find their insta??” Talk to OddOps by James Nonu-Carling about how you/your organisation can vastly improve how you document, search and organise your contacts and level up your project management using Notion. Legitimately a game changer.

📸 I've been behind the lens for over 6 years. The best advice I can give to budding fellow photographers? ~ Shoot whenever you get time. Even on the weekends. ~ But don't share every single frame you capture. ~ Shoot for creativity. For skill-building. For passion! But only showcase your best work! (I take hundreds  of shots, but only share a select few) Do you think top brands like Apple or Netflix release every idea they work on? No way. They shoot. They refine. They fail often. And that’s why they succeed. Keep shooting, friends → Fail often → Master your craft. Checkout my work here - https://lnkd.in/gJFkBQNq PS- Repost this among your network.
