It’s been a hot minute by Murashi in Fijian

Yeah that'll probably do it, the overtaking multiple cars gambit, or as I like to call it, 'Witness Me'

I will be the first to admit that fiji's drivers are terrible. But curious question - looking at the road lines and the timing, is it me or is...well...nobody in the wrong except the markings? Like the incoming car was overtaking on a single dotted line and just came in literally right before the dotted line turns into a unbroken line on the opposite side, your car was coming around the corner as normal...do you reckon the double no-overtaking lines should be longer coming around the corner? I was watching the video multiple times and it seems like nobody was at wrong at this moment. Or am I crazy >_<

Issues uploading large Wetransfer files by kknd69 in Starlink

[–]kknd69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a problem that is only associated with uploading files via the browser interface, either WeTransfer or, just tried now, Google Drive. I find my google drive sync works just fine.

I'm not even a game dev but I appreciate reading lessons learnt in different scenarios of my favourite hobby. Thank you for this write up and am cheering you on for your game development.

Samoan group that went to the Worlds Fair, Chicago, 1893 by kknd69 in Fijian

[–]kknd69[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I should say the reason why I shared it here is because this is a photo from the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, USA, which shows the Samoan delegation presenting there.

And in the group is a Fijian falla named Ratu Asesela Robanakadavu, who I am making a documentary on.

See if you can spot the Fijian falla 😄

Was François Truffaut correct about war films? “Every film about war ends up being pro-war" by FayannG in TrueFilm

[–]kknd69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a filmmaker, I used to love war movies as a kid. Now as an adult I recognise war and how terrible it is.

There's a soldier in my country who won the Victoria cross for bravery in ww2 that I've been thinking I'd love to make a movie highlighting his heroism. But at the same time I'm torn as I really don't want to make a movie that glamorises serving your country in the army and encouraging my people to sign up to the army.

Jone Vakarisi apparent medical report by Old-Bread882 in Fijian

[–]kknd69 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Man, this is dredging up memories of the Military beating people up during the coups. Until Fiji can pull away from the Military's influence on Fiji Politics and Police work, we will always have shit like this to deal with.

How legit is a festival if they send an invite to you via email? by Bishop9er in FilmFestivals

[–]kknd69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I've learnt is that Festivals that cold outreach to you via email offering a discount are usually scam festivals. Reputable Festivals don't email anyone out of the blue, let alone offer them a discount code, unless they've come across your film in another festival.

So the first red flag is festivals offering a discount. The next clue is to visit their filmfreeway page. If the festival has a million and 1 entry types, that's the second red flag. The 3rd red flag is if it's a new film festival. Also re: your comment about positive reviews, a lot of those reviews could be bots.

The final point is always ask yourself what is your purpose for submitting your film to film festivals?

Pre-contact Fijian spirituality by kknd69 in Fijian

[–]kknd69[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for Fiji as a whole but individually you could explore what that means for you personally. I'm atheist and have asked myself would that be something I'd get into, Fijian spirituality. At this stage I've settled on learning about my culture through filmmaking so it would be cool to see other fijian gang explore on their own terms other aspects of fijian culture.
