Pretty much bet my career a few weeks ago. One film is off the ground. Went to Cannes to create something out of nothing.

2nd night a producer asked for my help after family emergency cancelled their trip.

2 days later I had a handshake deal to finance a $20m Oscar contender subject to signatures on remaining talent deals.

Looks like it was worth it. Post Cannes, I'm playing a few other companies off each other and stirring up a mini-bidding war.

Off to the races. Another $10m++ in play from another company, and I'm discussing with another studio to acquire the entire film outright...offer from last month is still safety net, so we've got ourselves the beginning of a bidding war.

After Cannes, my faith in everything is a helluva lot stronger. I've very grateful.

Aesthetics will hopefully underly everything I do. I'm helping make entertaining films, but I am focusing on projects that are hopefully visually moving or at least try to push film back into being some semblance of an art form too. I've diverted 2 films away from Netflix in the past few weeks convincing the producers not to take their cash and to give their hard work a chance at a run in cinemas.

Finalised a $300k portion. But I had to kick international sales off to another agent for Cannes as they were putting up extra $$$$$$ - luckily a dinner confirmed sales are strong enough to cover the gap in the budget. Final contracts to be finalized eow. Weak dollar fucked the producers but finally getting sorted.

Sorry for your bad luck to get into the movie biz and just start to get this sort of career traction when the medium of “film” is at an all-time, (probably-permanent) low in quality. I’m sure you’d have been involved in great movies in the 70s and 80s.

Naw, that's arthouse prestige piece. Not my film. I was at a meeting overlooking that red carpet though - https://imgur.com/a/IXf8qXh

Mine is in pre-production. Working with talent agency to finish locking the rest of the above-the-line down to satisfy conditions for funding. Have another meeting in an hour with another finance co. who's interested in a mix of debt and equity, and a third option next week. Have another offer in hand for half the budget but then I'd have to fill the rest with equity and apparently people here don't have as many millions as they say they do.

All 3 of the films you mentioned had a killer market though. Sales were stronger this year than in the past 5. Mood was elevated and folks eager to make deals.

Actually did cross paths with Elle Fanning - and in person she's a showstopper.

Saw Brad Pitt get denied entry through a backdoor because the guard didn't recognise him...fucking hilarious. He took a step back and smiled at him, then the guard was like oh fuck! and demanded a picture....and still didn't let him through the back door. Made Brad go to the front where the paps were waiting for him. Brad saw me smoking a spliff and laughing at him, air-gestured if he wanted a drag - - he hesitated and I think almost was going to....sad he didn't join me for a smoke :(

Very very much so. It's a form of backstop deal. Can do small $50k up to a full backstop for a territory up to like $1.5m+

It's sheltered a bit so risk is lower compared to other film/tv deals. Can chat if you email me.

Wasn't true to story (ofc) and went against the wishes of the Getty estate. Hollywood wasted a shit ton of money on that.

Ours is good with both the family and the Getty estate telling the story through one of the mobsters, who happens to be the other producer's long passed great uncle. : |

Haven't studied in earnest since undergrad, and only took a few electives, so only a vague background enough for me to fake a one-liner if there are real artists talking. I haven't had time until now to that sort of thing tbh.

That said, realism isn't the most important aspect of film. Film should be about emotional experiences, agree. Women's portrayal in film broadly reinforces patriarchal stereotypes but most attempts to counter that fail miserably from a commercial perspective b/c the filmmakers want to bash the audience in the face with the topic at hand.

I aim to make films that entertain and make you feel something one way or the other, shot like films used to or should be, hopefully have some sort of artistic contribution, and are still commercial enough that they get seen. No use in making art if no one experiences it.

First story...

3am, traffic is lined up around old town. 95% of people are hammered. French locals come in to cruise the strip and spot a celebrity or some shit. BMW with 4 young French dudes going 2 mph in traffic rolls by....and a voluptuous, erm music video dancer type from I believe Atlanta, walks up to the car and just starts fucking grinding and twerking on the fucking car. She's hardly cognisant, frenchies are encouraging her and whooping. In a Southern accent she slurs out "where youus going babesssss"

3 seconds later a gigantic bro in a very shiny suit comes barrelling down the street grabs her by the arm and yanks her away mid-twerk, a beast being pulled like a rag doll by an even larger beast - screams at her what the fuck is she doing -- -- answer? -- -- DAAAANCING BBAAAABBBYYYY, THEY MY FRIIIIeNDS. She was called a stupid bitch and pulled like a child up the street back to their hotel room.

The other French just stood there shocked. She's lucky she didn't get TAKEN-ified.
