I just had a very interesting conversation with my man who's doing work in the film business and is currently writing for the second season of She's Gotta Have It. I want to share a part of that convo for the filmmakers out there.
We were talking about the Ric Flair documentary that aired last year and we both made the point that sometimes it is better to just let a subject tell their own story and force the viewer to listen to it.

I haven't done a filmmaking thread in a while and since I tweeted out a couple thoughts a few minutes ago, I thought I would discuss my process for shot building. As always, if you're not interested feel free to mute me.
And just to be clear, I'm a screenwriter as well. I know how hard writing a script is. I wasn't trying to downplay people's work. I've read a lot of scripts and seen a lot of movies. The movies are almost always better than the scripts including my own.
For this thread, I'm speaking about character driven dramas. The process can span across different genres, but I want to be clear what I'm focusing on here. I do not storyboard. I find storyboards limiting when it comes to these types of films. I want shots to be more organic.

So while I continue to push this feature script for financing, I'm starting to develop another one. I haven't been at this stage in the process in a long time so it's like I'm starting a whole new approach to development.
It's crazy how much more stuff I know now as opposed to when I started the first one. I was at NYU when I began it, but it's crazy how little I knew. Wow. I'm curious to see how this process is going to go now compared to the first time.
Even the streamlining of ideas is better this time than the first. I have a much clearer idea of what is needed to build the world and the characters so the conflict is more apparent. I understand layers much more now. It's weird to be aware of your growth in the moment.

“Why Women Stay Out of the Spotlight at Work” hbr.org/2018/08/sgc-8-… // This is important to consider for women on teams. Also raises important “performance evaluation” considerations for any team. A list-thread follows: While it’s easy to urge women to step into the spotlight, doing so without considering visibility’s risks to women is shortsighted. So is treating the problem of visibility as something for women to fix themselves. To achieve workplace equality, we need to redesign organizations — not the women who work in them.
There are several terms/behaviors that often appear in performance appraisals that could have little to do with doing good work but prove quite difficult for some people. Here’s a few things to consider.
Visibility. As pointed out in research, being visible is often an uncomfortable spot. Reality is work should be visible, not necessarily people, esp. early in career. As people mature into leadership roles they get more comfortable w/visibility—though consider leadership styles.

It's a criminal offence to falsifying a legal instrument. But if the #MetPolice / #LBRUT do it, then there is not even an investigation. 12 years of silence. Evidence to prove it - ukcoverup.com/search-warrant-

Welcome to the #Metpolice who also changed & falsified my arrest details. Have a look at the evidence here ukcoverup.com/arrest-details as it's all easy to prove & that's why it's never addressed

Looks like it is time to move this thread on #NDTV forward!

This reminds me of a dialogue from the game GTA II which I used to play sometime in the last decade - 'REMEMBER, RESPECT IS EVERYTHING'!
Oh, and the single quotes for 'respect' .. if that cannot make you fall in love with the good folks manning the #NDTV offices, nothing will!

Sometimes I wonder would an allegedly renowned media house so proudly quote 'Foreign Media' in the main headline IN ADDITION to the usual disclaimer at the end of the report.. But then I tell myself, it is #NDTV!

"The 25 points of the NSDAP Program were composed by Adolf Hitler and Anton Drexler. They were publically presented on 24 February 1920 "to a crowd of almost 2K and every single point was accepted amid jubilant approval." (Mein Kampf, Volume II, Chapter I)

1. Someone recently mistook me for a Jordan Peterson “supporter” because I tweeted something complimentary about him, so I thought I would do a thread with my thoughts on him. I would call myself more Peterson-curious.
2. I’ve been following his controversies and meteoric rise since late November 2016 after he made international news for his opposition to Canada’s Bill C-16.

3. Since then I’ve been reading articles about him, watching some of his YouTube videos + invited talks and interviews. I haven’t yet watched any of his classes or read his books.
