Got the hard back version of the book I wrote for my daughter delivered today and it's fucking beautiful (cover artist has done a phenomenal job). Wish I could share it with you all, but I can't sadly, without doxing myself.
You'll just have to find it on Amazon for yourselves.
She's going to love it.

Any screenwriters or directors want to be interviewed for a filmmaking series I want to put together?
I can shoot you questions over dm or we can hop on a 30min call
I want to cover experiences + lay of the land from the last 5 years, thoughts on the current consolidation and perspective on what the future of filmmaking holds

I've been talking/experimenting/trying to launch this for about 2 years now... can't believe we're finally starting with something tangible.
These cards help us start ~ they give 'film studios sim' that luck/randomness element we all experience in life, especially in Hollywood's world.
The rest of the simulation comes from my & @tfm's experience pitching tv shows, directing and even creating one. The pain, the good & bad luck, the triumph, difficult decisions, really the entire process have been poured into the game, this experience.
But I'm a double dipping perfectionist.
It wasn't enough to put together a sim in the styling of /crypto-the-game with teams, twists & turns + a prize pool.
A guiding narrative needed ring true to the ethos: a tv show made by the talented voice actors, visual artists, musicians and writers. The same talent that has been cast aside by Hollywood in recent years as ZIRP money has disappeared, leaving massive cuts in its wake as consolidation takes its place.
The best part is I haven't found them yet:
0 voice actors
0 visual artists
0 musicians
0 writers (minus me) are attached.
I want you to help me find, qualify and hire these talents to make the narrative that film studios sim will play against.
This is no small task to build up a presence on Farcaster, Reddit & Twitter > to find talent > to create a tv show > to play against 'film studio sims'.
So we're starting small by filling the 126 studio spots to play. 63 will come from people lucky enough to draw them out of the deck.
For the people that don't want to spend money on the deck ~ help us by showing up on our subreddit (link below) or Twitter account (link below) during AMAs or by posting any industry news or by sharing reviews of something you recently watched or by asking filmmaking questions. If it's good, you share it back here on Farcaster and tag me, I'll send you a pack to open.
The remaining 63 spots will come from 1/1 auctions from Farcaster artists (also yet to be found & determined, we'll need your help finding them too).
This is the beginning of how we transform filmmaking from an offline, 5 stage process into a completely onchain, 3 act process
Watch, help, play or even just comment ~ you'll be helping this tree grow into a forest of filmatrees that helps pay artists, creates original stories and makes something new, just for the internet.

Book for my daughter done! Very happy with it, and how the cover has turned out .
Can't get author copies delivered until mid jan so I've had to buy directly from Amazon 😂
Oh well, she's going to absolutely love it when she sees it.
This particular story is based on a story I invented for her one day and ever since then has been asking me to write.
Happy days.

My favorite thing about writing fiction is the layers of details I get to add, like a layered cake inside of another layered cake:
I just realized this is a sci-fi comedy.
Hell yeah

The absolute secrecy of this industry is where the middlemen create arbitrage opportunities for their own benefit
Good story should be creative driven, not agents fitting internal schedules to match studio schedules. After all, the latter are risk averse, profit driven

This is the announcement of hopefully what will be a further announcement (of, perhaps, yet another announcement).
But I had some good news this week.
Can't say more.
Mysterious, I know.
Watch this space.
Or read the casts in this channel, I should say.

This is why the saying 'write for an audience' matters if you need to make money.
In no way is this a statement about quality.

@tokenizedhuman invited me to post on the script I'm working on for a tv show that will premiere with a versus game at the same time... the only problem might be I'm not doing any of this in a traditional manner:
1. I'm doing 3 Acts of filmmaking instead of 5 stages
2. The script is in a stripped down, mobile friendly format
3. Cowriting, voice acting, animation and even art are all going to happening openly on Farcaster
I hope I'm not a problem here

Looks like with a bit of clever formatting, and an increase in font size, we're over the 75 page minimum!
