I asked several questions on the Indiegogo page for the project only to be brushed off with over exuberant claims. I kept asking the questions without getting the answer I and others have been asking for. Mr Simens approach to any difficult questions is to delete the posts rather than answer them. It's quite plain that Mr Simens is unable to answer the questions which is why he's taken this unprofessional approach.<br /><br />Some of the questions asked were... is there a corporate website with more information on it? It is claimed that the solution has been in development for 4 years, is there a demo of key functionality available or screenshots? Some rather large numbers have been banded about such as 50,000 independent features produced per year, are there any hard facts to back this claim up? A movie banker fund of $175m is being set up, where is this coming from and how will it be administered?<br /><br />All reasonable questions I feel, which should be very easy to answer but Mr Simens either chooses not to or as is more likely the case, he is unable to answer them.<br /><br />Come on Mr Simens give 'The People' the answers to the questions they are asking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354589678033037762.post-58653240434667839822011-09-29T10:50:13.845-05:002011-09-29T10:50:13.845-05:00Thank you, Lorie!

The other danger of Facebook, Twitter, MySpace etc. is that you are at their mercy -- violate one of their codes of conduct unknowingly, and poof! They'll cancel your account and all the hardwork you invested in creating a community there will be gone. The trick is to use those places as a STARTING point to forge personal relationships. <br /><br />Your chance of success is directly connected to the number of real-life relationships you have with people who have faith in you. You do everything else, from writing a tight script to assembling a talented team to fostering online community, so that all of those things can add up to inspire faith in people who know you. <br /><br />I think you're on the right track.

But even with that, I have found it very difficult to continue forward, giving myself deadlines or "age" deadlines and attempting to justify disappointments and revel in any success. I'm currently in a class that is about using the internet and what you've written about has really moved me towards keeping my social networking eye on the prize. =)MajorMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12926186880086185133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354589678033037762.post-14246852616064443152011-02-03T14:04:21.312-06:002011-02-03T14:04:21.312-06:00ps. thanks for the Aether Paranormal mention, too!...ps. thanks for the Aether Paranormal mention, too!Jentrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11977687446722489949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354589678033037762.post-54580029163076587202011-02-03T14:03:28.495-06:002011-02-03T14:03:28.495-06:00My pleasure, Lorie!

I think that even as artists aspire to inspire others with their stories, that the putting-together of the stories always ends up being more inspiring to the artists, themselves. I know that's the case for me! <br /><br />I think that's why I love making theatre and movies, and not consuming them as much as others might think I'd want to (Ken despairs that I don't like watching movies/tv as much as he thinks I should, given my vocation). It's always such a rich experience, and in expected and unexpected ways, to TELL stories. I continue to have "a ha!" moments with Lost in Sunshine.Loriehttp://www.lostinsunshine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354589678033037762.post-70275701502790329252011-01-09T16:27:34.394-06:002011-01-09T16:27:34.394-06:00Thanks, Tami!!
