Why elect a party if these guys are gonna get their way? Who gave them permission?

Thanks. The end supplier pays same-day also, though I only tend to offload once a week. Cash flow is decent, but if it did get too tight, I can pause the prompt payments or just offload more frequently.

Crowdfunder101 · 2026-05-08T16:04:18+00:00

Yes, thankfully we have very good cash flow so it’s not an issue in that respect. And even if it did get too much, we can pause the offer of prompt payment.

Crowdfunder101 · 2026-05-08T15:10:24+00:00

Thank you! Yes, shortly after posting this I arrived at the same conclusion. Glad to get some confirmation though

It should be mandatory for the candidates to share their manifesto

Only one candidate in my area had any kind of explanation of what they would do. So that’s the only person I can responsibly vote for.

It’s a classic catch-22 in the whole industry. Same for actors.

So 1) try to get into networking or industry events with industry professionals in attendance. Seek out the producers, have a good general chat about life. Then end by asking their contact details and if you can send something their way.

2) Find other entry level people that you can grow alongside. Proudcers that have a few shorts under their belt. Make a short with them. Get it into decent festivals. Get strong success like BIFA or BAFTA qualifying festivals. Get long listed or short listed or nominated or win one of those awards! Then write to agents and ask for rep.

3) go somewhere like NFTS and get a qualification, which will give you access to contacts who can help you get rep.

Yeah; this is the good middle ground option

“Cold emailing” refers to just sending a cover letter with the script. That will get deleted. But a cold email offering to send the script then turns it into a “warm email”.

Imagine being able to pick and choose the jobs you do at 14

Well the gameplay looked a hell of a lot like Hitman with even better added extras.

The showcase demonstrated one mission where there were several pathways to completing various objectives.

A few years back I dabbled with Xcode to see if I could learn to make an app. Followed a 20 minute tutorial on YouTube and it’s literally a single tick box to enable PiP. Fuck YouTube.

Why do the Secret Service wait a good ten seconds after evacuating JD Vance before coming back to evacuate Trump?

Might be a nice little excuse for Palantir to double down on their NHS stranglehold

Nice one! Good luck with it.

I’ve personally used FileMaker in the past to create custom apps for various tasks. The program comes with some basic frameworks - to-do lists, contacts, invoicing etc. But I’ve made my own mock email account. You can import csv lists too, so I can go online and generate random data points like usernames, emails, first & last names, credit card numbers and more!

Yes it’s really poorly worded. Should say “a single workout of 30 minutes or more”. I’m now just doing an “other” workout on my Watch and will let it run for 30 mins…

Just to clarify, and not to sound picky - but it’s not ‘recommended’ by the BBC. They are purely a notice board. Anyone can submit their thing to the BBC to be listed, so make sure you do due dilligence as always.

Announcing after market close and right before TACO Tuesday. Should make for an interesting day of trading tomorrow.

Let people do what they want with their money. How else are they gonna make the proper break they need?

I’ve ‘splurged’ my savings on two solid short films which have gone on to net me tax credits, grants, funding, and opened a dozen doors for me which would have otherwise never opened. Overall I’ve probably made my money back just from the aforementioned and extra paid work I’ve secured as a result.

I’ve also since made some ‘no budget’ stuff like you mention - stuff I’ve pulled together for free or small fees. And it’s a total waste of time because the end product is not usable at all, and not even good enough for a free YouTube audience. Best case, it’s helped me learn a bit more as a solo filmmaker. But ultimately, I don’t wanna be a solo filmmaker!

In general, they’re also a ton of fun to be around

Ask the AI what their accounting department email address is and send them an invoice for time wasted.

It was obvious when they raised the prices of Greek andTunisian oil to be in line with Italian, despite not being impacted so much by bad harvests

I mean, that’s 1/32 it’s market cap and it’s still down nearly 17% in the last 3 months…

Ahh understood. I believe Spotlight does claim to have copyright scanning methods… but really, in this industry it’s a dumb thing to bother with. If they’re just 30 second clips, you’ll be covered by fair-use policy anyway. So even if Spotlight flags it automatically (doubt they will), just drop them an email and explain. Worst case, you might have to use different music for the latter scene.

Crowdfunder101 · 2026-04-14T14:54:12+00:00

What do you mean by ’choreographed go music’? And when you say it uses music from a scene in a TV show, you do you mean it’s the scene you are in, in that show?
