If you give a creative a brief, they're gonna want a budget.

When you give the creative a budget, they'll probably ask to make a :90 anthemic short film.

When they're done concepting their short film, they'll ask for a celebrity spokesperson.

Then they'll want a film director to make sure they don't waste their celebrity cameo.

“Herding Tigers” is a solid read with great advice.

What's everyone into now? I cashed out some of my CCIV but not sure where to move to next. I feel like IPOF should have some news soon...

Um, I feel like my BF of almost 4yrs (1 living together) and I are on the brink of separating. I think COVID is putting it into perspective. We’ve gotten through the worst of the quarantine while supporting each other as best we could (very thankful for him). But his coping skills with stress (during covid) are lacking and as things progressed he’s just been taking it out on me more and more in the moment, then he feels awful for not treating me as well as I deserve (he treated me well before..)
