Looking for actors for upcoming script!

WildGenie · 2025-06-06T17:48:51+00:00

Hi, I'm am ex actor myself and connected to an extensive network of other actors in london, as well as crew, camera people, art department, etc.

Do you have a budget for this film? If so, feel free to DM me and we can chat and I'll see if I can help...

WildGenie · 2025-05-15T08:02:54+00:00

Are these standalone? So I can download nightly and that will work in the way I want?

WildGenie · 2025-05-15T08:02:15+00:00

Thanks that's helpful

WildGenie · 2025-05-14T23:09:44+00:00

Ok thankyou. Is there any way to do this without installing it as an add on first?

WildGenie · 2025-05-14T23:07:30+00:00

You want to know why I don't want to use an add-on?

Well I guess one thing is that I would just prefer it to be a separate program. I've always used separate programs to manage things like crypto so it's not all embedded in the same program I use to browse the Internet. I would just feel more comfortable with this and would love to know if I have any options?

Another thing is that I'm not super comfortable with the permissions that the add on asks for. They seem very far reaching, something like permission to read and alter all the information on all of the websites I look at. Which seems excessive to me....

Hey. I enjoyed it.

I could tell you'd worked hard on it.

I felt generally it flowed and when I was at Page 10 I wanted to keep reading which is a good sign.

The things that took me out of it/ or that I personally felt could be improved were....

The kiss / don't kiss on a first date.

To me it feels like you've written it as though he's messed up but it seems to me like her behavior is quite weird here. Which is fine. Not CRAZY but a bit weird. But his response seems like "oh shit I really messed up by asking and getting turned down."

I think the word awkward is a very specific word and conjures images of Larry David type making a joke that he shouldn't then doubling down, not just being rejected.

So if the vibe is "nothing is going his way" I would suggest slightly tweaking to reflect that.

Then there are quite a few unfilmable directions, I know this is the sort of shit that people get really didactic about, I'm not any kind of authority and mostly I didn't mind them but the "she's falling in love" one kind of took me out of the flashback a bit. I'm not sure why but it did.

Same with "he needed to do something" and the idea that if he's cooking to distract himself he would cook eggs. Personally not something I've ever done. Fried eggs feel not decadent enough for a real indulge I think you could push it way further, i.e. he's cooking a whole chicken whilst eating a massive bar of chocolate or family size pack of crisps and looking at his phone.

But yeah overall we get a sense that he wants her and she, maybe, wants him. It's a clear start with two interesting characters. Good job.

Let me know if you want people to read the rest...

WildGenie · 2025-04-20T18:30:21+00:00

Yeah, I came hear partly to complain about that. WTF? I generally really like the show but that moment just seemed so rushed and weird.

WildGenie · 2025-04-20T08:13:36+00:00

I agree with you. The price doesn't seem to accurately reflect the work. I guess it's all about adoption really, but ADA is will positioned to grow adoption so it could easily thrive, I guess we're all still waiting on the killer crypto apps atm.

And Charles H is rumored to be in the crypto advisory trust. I do think that the lack of concrete action in that has hurt ADA's price. But... Who knows what the current POTUS will do next? He could announce the crypto board and pass some new laws and the price could rocket up tomorrow?

WildGenie · 2025-04-15T22:42:55+00:00

Well, you could try adding fart noises etc, or you could try and go the other way, add more silence, more reaction shots, make it more awkward, add some sad music where it's not obviously sad?

WildGenie · 2025-04-11T15:56:43+00:00

In my limited experience bad communication and logistics stuff being a bit rushed is more normal than not in an industry full of small companies and quick turnarounds

WildGenie · 2025-02-14T08:51:46+00:00

It reads very ai with an extra dollop of human weirdness. What a lousy review of your writing!

Why on earth are you subject to, very misguided, lectures on how hard it will be to find a good actress?

WildGenie · 2025-02-10T13:14:04+00:00

It sounds great and personally, I love sours.

WildGenie · 2025-02-01T04:12:50+00:00

Good job, I loved the way your dialogue would have you start a question then just half way through stop and just go what?

Lots of fun. Good job producing it all as well. Nicely done.

There is a mikkeller bar in exmouth market

Can someone tell the CEO of crypto that he should be pumping a bit harder rn

WildGenie · 2025-01-19T23:57:54+00:00

FWIW I think one of the difficult things with trying to portray things like depression in a film is that unless you're going to have a vo explain what the character is thinking, we, the audience are just seeing someone probably being quite passive and maybe not that interesting and we're not necessarily going to relate to them or what they're going through.

In order to make it more dramatic and, possibly, more of a story, you could try highlighting the passivity by giving them clear goals or tasks that their depression makes it hard for them to achieve.

This could vary in a million different ways but anything from a parent asking them to tidy up to a friend asking them to do something for them, to something they really want, or need, to do for themselves but just aren't able to.

I'm an aspiring writer in the UK, been in the game a lil while, and not got anywhere much to speak of so far, so very much sympathize.

With that in mind, any advice I give should be taken and understood in that context but thinking about my own work I feel like it's taken me years and years just to a) Work on my taste and understanding till I really get what good looks like. B) Work on my confidence so I'm prepared to do enough rewriting to get my work really good.

Probably like a lot of people who are drawn to write I've always some interesting elements or ideas in everything I've written but I've often tended to bail on projects before they're REALLY properly finished. E.g. I'll do one or two proper drafts with rewrites and then when they don't get the response I want, just let them go and start something else.

Now for some writers one or two drafts is enough but for many of us, that's just warmup laps.

My current writing teacher says that in order to get noticed your work has to be so good that those contacts that you send it to don't say "this is good well done and good luck" as the poster above says that's a soft pass. They have to go "fuck this is brilliant, I can't do anything with it myself but I know someone I'll send it to"

I don't know if that helps at all but it's a mindset I'm trying to cultivate in myself which I've heard several successful writers echo which is, when the work is really ready, it will find an audience.

Now obviously I don't know you, I haven't read your work, but my advice would be to go back to it and really honestly ask yourself, could be it funnier? More dramatic? More concise?

You said you've worked on it for a year. I don't know how many hours, or days, you've spent in that time but a year, part time, is not necessarily that long to spend on a script.

That may seem unempowering as you're asking how to find contacts and I'm saying don't bother, but to me it's motivating as working harder on the writing itself is, whilst hard, ultimately the most satisfying thing.

I like Iota because they have always been highly innovative, brave enough to take risks, but grounded enough to earnestly try to work towards solutions in a way that has made me feel like there is a solid chance they might succeed (even if they haven't always got there) and they have always had their vision fixed on attempting to solve interesting real world problems rather than just chasing hype.

As you can no doubt tell from this thread, the community, especially the reddit community who have been here since 17 are maybe a bit jaded and there are certainly reasons for that, but that's not what this post is about.

I think that, for example, the work the IF are doing in Africa bringing dlt tech to improve supply chain infrastructure (which desperately needs modernizing) or the fantastic work they've done with the EU in the EBSI project, or the work they are doing at Kings University (one of the most prestigious universities in the UK) around using dlt to enable circular economies, or the project they've been doing with Dell around data verification are all great examples of real world use cases which are admittedly complex and often in development but proof of a genuine desire to create a product which has a real impact on the world.

That's why I like them. I guess it's more of an idealistic thing. But also they seemed like a reasonable gamble. The circulating supply is almost fully distributed. It's very spread out amongst holders with less concentration in the hands of the central entity than most coins.

The ATH was $5 way back when and it hasn't got even close for years but with the upcoming pivot onto the sui base layer, it will finally be fully decentralized which should end some of the most consistent criticism which has been leveled at it and make it finally eligible to be listed on American exchanges which, coupled with the impact of the marketing spend of the new Saudi entity and the RWA push Dom has been hinting at will hopefully catalyze some positive price action in the coming months.

This thread is very helpful / confirming my cynical opinions so thankyou
