Patience and reverence to anyone in particular are not as important as the endurance of your kneecaps.
Their fragility would have guaranteed that in the 19th–20th centuries, you couldn’t participate in bloody-fecal messes with Blavatsky, join the Ide Gan-Gan, or worship in the cult of Thelema while p...

Thanks!
Yup, I got the 'it's a wrap!' blues. Kind of like that feeling of free-fall after being shot from a cannon. Principal photography: done! The wrap-party is a fading hangover. The footage is hoovered away into a post-production lair, where the mysterious coven tasked with adding the magic that turns y...

Congratulations to you and the team on wrapping principal photography, Morgan Aitken Ipg! I usually jump into another project.
Morgan -- vacay! Go somewhere you've never been, bring a camera (small) and get a change of scenery. Fast.
Does nothing for my bank account.
Smart PR move, but I don't see it going beyond that. Rumors are Comcast is in the lead at the moment, but, personally, I don't believe that either...yet.
Should add, if it does end up being PIF, that would be a seismic event which would only accelerate what we're already seeing in the international marketplace.
I'd say most certainly major news rumors or not! Industrial eyebrows are now in retrospective! Public relations factors will have to be paid close attention to, as this will alert investors etc.

Interesting development as Saudi Arabia pushes hard into film and television production.
Preparation and perseverance are two sides of the same coin. Toss that coin into the air, watch it flip, and the blur between those faces starts to look like one word: “undeniable.”
Being “undeniable on the page” isn’t just about structure and market fit—they matter—but being undeniable starts with r...

Elle Bolan, “empathically brutal” is such a powerful phrase. Love that!
Love this. Also, incredible vocabulary and writing in this post. So well done.

In this week’s “Coffee & Content” blog, Richard “RB” Botto asks: “What’s one creative decision you’ve made that helped shape the world of your story, and what’s one bold move you’ve made to kick open a door in your own career?”

Fantastic!!! (I had the honor of working with Alexandre Desplat on 'The Upside of Anger'. Such a professional talent!)
Good Morning everyone! Hope you all have a great day, and as usual I have questions to get to know you guys. 1:if you could be any character who would it be? 2:if you could be in any movie/tv series what would it be? 3:If in any movie you could've stopped something from happening what would it be?
I saw the Percy Jackson movie way back, Autumn Carpenter. Is he Percy's friend?
uuuuuhhhh the movie actually is not good, the director didnt even read the books, but the author came out with a series. so no just from the book, and their friendship is complicated...:D
Wow. The director didn't read the books. I guess he wanted to go in his own direction with the movie. I'll have to check out the books.
the books are AWESOME or in PJO fandom language Amazhang (a character last name is Zhang sooo) and my favorite book series

Hello authors and screenwriters,
Have you ever thought about adding — or using — music in your worlds?
I’ll go first.
In my book The Disabled Puzzle, music is part of the experiments.

Thank you very much Leonardo Ramirez 2
I also love classical music, especially pieces for piano and violin.
In my historical Western series, the characters might go to church or have weddings and funerals where hymns of that period are sung.
Yes Debra Holland music is very important for ritual scenes.
In my SETESH full feature there are singers, a violinist, a flute player, throat singing in the audio, violin and piano in the music track, all live recorded... makes a huge difference!
It is on youtube.
That’s great—having full musical work in the movie really elevates it.
I searched a little on YouTube, and the film feels mysterious; the music makes that atmosphere even stronger. Jon Shallit...
