I always demand to watch full length films. Anyone can get great shots by accident. Seeing how a DP lights, frames from scene to scene you can tell if they've got the chops.

Hey Steven, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network.

I just wanted to let you know that the bug is now fixed, so all members are now able to receive private messages from any other member (the default setting). If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here. Also, you can access your privacy settings at any time from the drop-down menu that appears when you h...
