Re: I'm working on a documentary

so, because the economy is bad people are to not ask for donations for a project their working? lol, that's a tad unfair
and kickstarter is a GREAT programme

Re: I'm working on a documentary

^^^ But they are asking other artists. While I don't think there is anything wrong with asking, the timing is a little insensitive. I also think the "piss off if you don't agree" attitude expressed here is a tad unfair. It's people discussing and having different opinions that gets things done in this world.

Btw Jeffrey, if you didn't want this spread over the net, putting up that link probably wasn't the best move.

I also looked through back posts and didn't find anything particularly offensive , and that has got to be worth something with my rep

Re: I'm working on a documentary

Ummm people look for funding for movie projects from other ARTISTS all the time. If one person has interest and the funds to dontate, great, if nobody does, great, but ASKING is never wrong.

Just ask highsteppa or anyone else in this industry, it's very common. No harm no foul by Jeff.

Personally I found the project interesting and who knows who else it may also inspire on here to create something similar one day, or whatever.

Just because art isn't important to you, do not assume it is not important to anyone else.

Re: I'm working on a documentary

I totally disagree with the project and think it's unacceptable to ask people to 'donate' (a word usually associated with charity) towards a personal project in the toughest times of our generation. If the project was to fund a conservation effort in a 3rd world country he'd have my blessing but it isn't. The reaction is because it's an unthoughtful thing to do at this time. There are many people who will read it who haven't got a job and have been made redundant. Requesting funding for things like this should be done amongst friends on a personal one to one level. It's so unbelievably cheeky to send out a global message for help which has no charitable benefit.

Jeff has been apart of this community for a long time, and there are some people on here that I am sure he considers friends so that is why he posted it. He is not forcing anyone to help him, he is simply sharing something he is passionate about with us and there is nothing wrong with it.

Despite the issues with the economy etc., it is no reason to attack someone or bash something they are passionate about. Simply bite your tongue, leave the thread, and carry on about your day.

Re: I'm working on a documentary

Jeff, what Kassios said.

Pumper, honestly, opinions are great and everything but you don't have to go ape shit on someone just because you disagree with them. Remember, it's very easy being an asshole, it takes effort to be nice. So if you can't play nice, don't open the thread.

And to head over somewhere else and bitch him out is seriously childish. I don't know if you're having a bad time and you're picking on the one thing that ticked you off, but ease off him brotha.

Re: I'm working on a documentary

Ignorance is a bliss don't pay attention to these type of people man...do your thing and forget about him.

All the best
