Der Krieg Gottes
I just finished Kameron Hurley's "God's War". I could talk about the fascinating world. Or how she convincingly creates a matriarchy (which is very difficult to do -- essentially all the men are sent to war so there simply aren't any 18-to-45-year-old men around). But I won't. Instead I'm a-gonna talk about the art on the cover.
The art on the cover is great.
OK. Now that I'm done with that...
I got Day 2 out to the lab today. Hopefully that will all go without a hitch. One day, in the distant future, buyers will accept hard drives instead of (egads!) DigiBeta tapes.
Huh? That future is here, man. I just delivered my latest flick on a Firewire 800 hard drive...
ReplyDeleteAnd you know, once I do it, all the cool kids follow!
You deliver on a hard drive for domestic or overseas? Because I can sometimes convince our North American distributor to take a hard drive...
ReplyDeleteNorth American. Foreign sales pretty much don't exist for me anymore. I didn't even do an M&E track on my newest movie--saved a LOT of foley time and effort, AND I don't have to foot the bill for a PAL master...
ReplyDeleteI have the opposite problem. North American sales pretty much don't exist for me anymore.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't make you do an M&E in case of a Spanish TV sale?
Who is your North American distributor?
No. I think we made it pretty clear if they wanted to sell foreign it would need to be subtitled.
ReplyDeleteI cannot name them right now since technically they won't have the license for about 18 months(it plays on VOD for about a year first)...but its initials are either AB, LGF, or WB. (if that helps :)
Damn! I'd be thrilled to get a deal with ANY of those initials... er, distributors.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking how "IFC" should stand for "Innit For the Cash".
ReplyDeleteReally it should be IYAPYBNB IFC for "If You're a Producer You Better Not Be Innit For the Cash."
Yeah, Kangas is the king around here. His movies have made millions.
