Yeah, I said it.
Here’s how a recent conversation with a distributor went:
Me – I can get it to you as I can, masters and such costs some do rey mi.
Them – I understand.
Me – Once I knock off a few more liquor stores we’ll be good to go.
Them – (silence)
Me - Figuratively speaking of course.
Them – (silence)
Me- Hello
Them - … I hear nothing.
So maybe this isn’t the kind of conversation they are looking for.
Maybe I need to wear my all growd up face.
Maybe I need to understand that this is a business.
People pay their bills doing this.
This isn’t some fantasy play world.
This is an industry run off industrious types.
People who get stuff done.
People who don’t take crap.
People who don’t suffer fools cause fools live in their parent’s basement.
Stand up straight.
Tuck in your shirt.
Stiff upper lip.
Finish your meat or no pudding.
Writing a long synopsis, synch agreement in mail, Quality control report is expensive, copyright report is expensive, chain of title is something everyone knows what it is but not what it looks like or how to handle it.
In film school they teach you how to spend money on all the wrong things.
Man I love the GO/FLOW
