It’s only disruptive when it actually disrupts something I guess is my point. I’m not so curmudgeonly as to think “this stuff will never work,” I just see so many folks selling it as if it already does.

At some point we are just circling a drain of nonsense when we make points like that.

Man you really hit the nail on the head with this. I’ve never been able to articulate why the term bothers me so much and you just absolutely nailed it. It’s like the derogatory “social justice warrior.” What? It’s bad to give a damn about

Dude I see hilariously absurd ideas for AI implementation in both the film and podcast worlds. There is definitely potential - such as transcriptions - but people are way overselling the efficacy and trying to “disrupt” with AI in ways no i

Yeah...this basically ignores those totally minor perks like “SEO” and “people can actually find your site.” Unless I’m missing something here.

I too don’t want Javier Bardem hunting me down.

Yeah the Kitty Genovese (sp) story is an example right? Wasn’t that proven to be a myth or something?

One of these sounds harder than the other but I keep changing my mind as to which...

Man I don’t know what industry you’re in but I get 3-4 PDF’s a week.

As someone who works in film production I am so done with adobe creative cloud. I use FCPX because I can’t stand how inefficient adobe is on a Mac. It grinds your processor for no reason and renders at half the speed it should. After effect

I want you to know I’m not kidding when I say I snorted so loud when I read this that I woke up my 12 week old haha. Worth it.

Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to.

If you can’t tell the difference, does it matter?

Hope your friend is doing alright. I’m talking to my sister about a project for small businesses and gig economy workers today. Hopefully we can get something going. Let them know that the New Orleans Business Alliance has also set up a fun

We’re feeling it baaaad here in New Orleans. Roughly 8% of our workforce is in the service sector and our film/television industry has ground to a halt. I work in video production. My friends/colleagues and I are basically just si

Ah sorry I totally misread the initial comment. I thought the critique was paying yourself. As for stuffing your own KS...yeah, it’s not allowed. Everyone does it as an “anonymous donation” of course, it’s very common. But yeah, he’s not su

How is that fraud? Paying yourself is totally valid. I’m actually skeptical of projects where a person doesn’t pay themself. It makes me wonder if they truly understand what it’s going to take. As long as the donors know that, what’s the is

“Rewards should never be the deciding factor” Nail on the head. Can’t emphasize this point enough. They are perks . They cannot be the product in most cases, because the product may fail and the entire dynamic is “I didn’t get what I bough

1. A feature length documentary. We raised about $4500 (goal was $12k). We used indiegogo so we were able to keep the partial funding. We got a lot of great content but we never finished partially because we were simply too underfunded and

We’ve seen it across the world over and over again. Rebellions/Government overthrows that are successful are few and far between. Who do you think puts down the ones that failed? The military.

Hey there, I know this isn’t exactly what you asked but I felt compelled to send this along when I saw your example numbers. I’ve actually had a (somewhat) successful crowdfunding campaign and lI’d like to give two pieces of advice about w
