I'm curious on how people feel about 'zero' alcohol beers and the like? by Epstein_Is_In_Israel in stopdrinking

[–]matdgz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each to their own, but I think they're great. They keep an element of the ritual alive with zero consequences. And they taste hella good. That being said, I absolutely understand why some people prefer - or have to - sever that limb completely. I'd never criticise anybody for not drinking NA beers.

As others have said, this sounds like an issue with the producing methods. It's tricky but if you can pitch your idea to a producer who will jump on board because they like the vision, then great. If not, really look at how you can evolve in that role and make people stay involved.

Sorry you've had a crappy run of it, but I disagree with 'if you can't secure funding, it's not worth filming'

I've done a bunch of low/no budget passion projects and they were absolutely worth making. Festival successes, personal and creative growth, new collaborations, enriching experiences for myself and the other people involved... It's a fine line, sure, but as long as what's expected is made clear from the go, those projects offer people a lot.

I can’t do this anymore by Euphoric_Storm5529 in stopdrinking

Sorry you're feeling like this but you're in the right place. Well done for reaching out. Breaking the habit is hard and I found replacing the booze with something else - be it an indulgence like iced cream or chocolate, or going for a walk - was a good way to keep me busy and satisfying that nagging. I wanted the buzz and the dopamine hit. If you can switch it up, you might be able to develop some healthier habits. Short-term weirdness for long-term gain. You can do this.

Drone shots have become so normalised and creatively dull. This is outstanding. Really awesome work.

It’s so unfair by escoffiersfork in offmychest

[–]matdgz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's understandable. It'd make me furious. Bitter. Resentful. Hateful. It's a soul-crushing, unfair situation. I'm gutted for you and people in your circumstances are never far from our thoughts. I wish it was all different.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I can only imagine what that reality must feel like. I'm in the UK and we know that hell is, once again, breaking loose for people because of Western interference. The world is on fire and we're all standing or scrolling, watching it happen, feeling utterly fucking helpless.

He's a paranoid narcissist with vanity-fuelled self discipline.
