@thekatyo @RachelLeishman @TheKylieChi No shade to your team, but I'm reminded of the story that Fincher read the Seven script after he told his team to start sending him the scripts they considered to be "bad".

@RachelLeishman Ooh that’s @TheKylieChi’s world 😬 I usually get stuff through my team which has been heavily filtered by the time it gets to me, yet still the strong majority are a struggle to get even halfway through.

This campaign finished on the 31st. 106% funded! We smashed our initial goal of 5K by 16% + our stretch goal of 2500 by 6%. Just wanted to say thank you to all that shared and/or donated. And to the rest of you for tolerating me posting incessantly about it.

We've got two days left and we're at 90% of our stretch goal. Sooo close to the finish line. Come help fund a short (think Aftersun, Past Lives) starring Dakota Blue Richards (The Golden Compass, Skins) and Evanna Lynch (the Harry Potter films). greenlit.com/project/each-c…

At the end of our first week, we've reached the 80% mark. For those that have shared the link or donated, we owe you a massive thank you for helping bring this short to life.

I'm producing the directing debut of Dakota Blue Richards (The Golden Compass, Skins). She's starring in it along side Evanna Lynch (Harry Potter). We're crowdfunding to cover post production costs. In 24 hours we've already hit 40%! greenlit.com/project/each-c…

Now at 62% if you wanna get involved. "When Gwen arrives at a hotel which was recently the scene of a brutal murder, receptionist Sophie assumes she has met a fellow true crime enthusiast; however, it soon becomes apparent that Gwen's interest is far more personal..."

@TheJasonAllday @LukeBarnett Not quite. Less than 4 years from Spielberg hearing about the novel in October 1989 to its release in Summer of '93. Spielberg had the rights by May 1990. Shooting began August '92.

@LukeBarnett If I remember the conversation correctly, I was told (even with Spielberg’s connections and weight/ status) it took 5+ years for Jurassic park to be given the green light

Just listened to the Safdie Bros on a podcast talking about how Uncut Gems took 10 years to get off the ground. Every time it wouldn't work they'd just say screw it and make another small movie they could control until they got there and man, if that isn't the best advice.

If you're excited by IP you can now steal- e.g. a Popeye/Tintin erotic thriller*-then you have no business making art of any kind. *Now I see it written down, it doesn't sound that bad...

@JFACasey Strong Brian Duffield vibes with that style. His scripts for The Babysitter and No One Will Save You do something similar.
