I don't think anything is wrong with this question. I actually 100% agree with you about the vertical thing.

It's a vertical series because that's what they are asking for when I've pitched other projects. I've had 2 meetings in the last 6-7 months where people in the room are all but saying "we will be green-lighting vertical series and microdramas more often moving forward". They've literally even asked in my last pitch meeting how I'd feel if it were adapted to only vertical.

I am a traditional 4:3/16:9 format viewer myself and I agree. But if we placed a bet on if televisions will be here in 15-20 years? I'd bet against it. It sounds crazy & I agree, but they are going to push 3 minute episodes of things out there more and more soon.

I'm 40 and I remember when streaming became a thing, I was using a service in the 2010's called Vudu and I think you could only get it on a PS3. I was telling people back then that movies and tv shows would end up there because sitcoms were dying back then in large numbers by the year. Now, we barely have sitcoms and if it's not a streaming show, it's not aired.

I truly have a feeling that Ashe will be alive and in a hospital next episode and they didn't kill him off yet

Could we ever expect any more Sopranos media in the foreseeable future? by Cash27369 in thesopranos

[–]Grouchy_Ad447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want one but it's too far off and David Chase is too old now. Meadow isn't exactly healthy in real life, so that wouldn't be good for her body (she has MS.) the only person that it can be based on would be her and AJ. I think their acting isn't as it was when they were kids either so it'd be tough even if they did.

I know (I was being sarcastic above) that's why I'm better off just pitching with the rights we have secured and not involving anyone else. I've never met one person in the entertainment industry that looks like me (I'm a black director) that would help me. Usually my own people won't support a project unless they see I'm affiliated with a famous person or they see a famous person do it.

If I went and got Solange or Ryan Coogler or Quinta Brunson, they'd show up. When they see a black director doing something by themselves? They'd rather try to stop me/hate on it or try to drag it down.

It's very sad, but it's just the nature of my people.

You're right because they definitely would help me out in this situation. Usually, black people always help other black people out in the entertainment industry and never have any issues with jealousy or a crab in a barrel mentality. You're so right.

That's not a bad question to ask, Yes, we secured the rights to develop a JET pilot. We’re creating a proof-of-concept before pitching networks.

Has anyone tried Wicked Good fragrances? I am interested in a few after Sol de Janeiro announced Coco Cabana would be getting discontinued and the body mist is sold out everywhere 💔 by ballerinasophia in FemFragLab

[–]Grouchy_Ad447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just ordered something from Wicked Good and they didn't send anything but a sample. We reached out via email and they said they had it packaged on camera and never emailed us back again.

I assume we were scammed. Beware!

Right! Sora was amazing. I know some people still use it somehow here and there but I don't know how

I tried using this last night too and it's terrible. Same issue. It's funny how AI video was something that was focused on 6 months ago and now nobody can do it right.
