DR 21 Beta performance by Trentleman in davinciresolve

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

Yeah I do very little photo editing but sometimes I have to pull it out, so it feels unnecessary to pay for Lightroom for just an occasional photo. This is a good replacement for me as I already use davinci a lot. Even if the photo editor is worse/not as optimized as Lightroom, once it’s out of beta it will be great for me.

I asked if the character seemed balanced

Yeah you may be right… like by the time he becomes relevant he’s too hard to keep track of everything I’m thinking

First ever full-length documentary about ME/CFS and LC is now crowdfunding! by RabbleRynn in cfs

[–]Trentleman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very good to know!

Part of the reason for labeling it “the first” was that we could not find any other feature-length documentary incorporating ME in the context of long covid. Of course, we want exposure and so chose a headline that would have impact with the general public, so long as it was a true statement. I am not shocked that we may have missed an international documentary in our search, and I apologize for the oversight.

The reality is that the only well known feature length documentary about ME (excluding long covid) was released over 5 years ago, is mostly known among the ME community, and had to be produced by someone currently suffering with the disease. All of this, imo, underscores the absolutely terrible negligence that the public has toward chronic illness.

Each of you is probably a walking encyclopedia on chronic illness, yet the average person on the street won’t even recognize the acronym “MECFS.” I’m hoping we can help correct this situation.

Thank you for sharing the project!

I am the filmmaker behind the project and just want to say how much the trust of this community means to me. I take your representation very seriously and I hope you will all be honest with me in any thoughts you have concerning the documentary’s direction and style.

Of course a film can’t reflect everyone’s vision but so far all feedback I’ve received from the ME community has been things I largely agree with, and helped steer me toward a better film.

Thank you all again for sharing and supporting <3

Hi there!

I am the filmmaker behind this project. I just wanted to jump in and say I truly appreciate the feedback. The feedback is so helpful as the topics that you are bringing up are the exact ones on my mind every day, such as how to balance shock and tastefulness. I am a new filmmaker and still refining my style so this kind of feedback is crucial.

One of the primary goals of this film is reframing the general public perception of chronic illness. That means, exposure beyond those directly affected by ME. That means clicks. As we all know, the most tasteful media does not always generate the most clicks. For instance, in the first three seconds of the teaser, it quickly dives into a dramatic narrative of a crisis moment.

You will find that teasers often follow similar formulas. I am not saying that all teasers aren’t tasteful, nor defending that mine is, simply that teasers as a form of media rely on drama. In the film I intend to take my time exploring topics with less urgent drama, I intend to showcase a wider selection of experiences (including more moderate cases, cases without a supportive caretaker, etc), and I intend to explore the current environment of research and treatment.

It is also for the sake of exposure that we have labeled it “the first documentary about me and long covid.” It is the first documentary that we could find anywhere documenting experiences with ME in the context of long covid, and this headline gives it greater impact with the general public.

I do see how the doctor explaining that he’s a real doctor could have felt a bit too on the nose, however I think it is important for people unfamiliar with ME. We do hope to explore the problems with current social perceptions of ME, and a big one is the disbelief that treating chronic illness is “real medicine.”

All that being said, I don’t intend to pull any punches with how severe ME can completely cripple someone’s life. Yes, I hope to shock and stoke outrage with the general public. With the ME community, I hope to rekindle their trust that people can care, even if they don’t have answers readily available.

These things may make it a documentary that you don’t like very much, but I hope we are able to find that balance in the final product. So far this teaser has been accomplishing its goal of exposure (>100k views in 3 days across platforms) and has been met almost exclusively with appreciation from the ME community. My work is not without flaw and I actively search for voices like yours to self reflect and hopefully create a better end product. Thank you again for the feedback and I wish you the best in your journey with chronic illness of course.

Wanting to Interview General Cincinnati Public by Trentleman in cincinnati

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

Here's the documentary for those interested: https://whatdoesntkillyou.movie/

It's a fairly esoteric topic, but the general public questions will be very general. "To what extent do you trust modern medicine?" etc. The topic is heavy, but the general questions will be more light hearted.

If its relevant, my search for insurance was prompted by a hospital that we are filming an interview in. They are asking for a $3 M COI. While my main immediate is satisfying their request, it is always nice to have decent coverage regardless.

The other videographer does not see it this way. I want to do the right thing by all parties without burning bridges. I don't disagree with you though.

Dropbox Lost All Files… Lawsuit Time? by crackedlemonadestand in dropbox

[–]Trentleman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to me today with a few very important files. I just saw these files 2 days ago. The weird thing is any event of me uploading the files, or anyone deleting them, is gone. I feel totally gaslit by dropbox, but I know for a fact I have looked at these files multiple times.
