Usually, we would pitch a television series idea only after creating a supertreatment and Bible, along with a pilot script. But when a colleague gets word of a good idea, and wants you to pitch to the full financial/production team on that very day, you must prepare yourself. Even when you are deep in the eastern woodlands! #film #television #tv #series #pitch #development #surprise #rollwithit #adaptandachieve #notimelikethepresent #thetimeisalwaysnow #writer #producer #director #actor #artist #filmmaker #showrunner #deepforestpitch

I have lived many places in this country, as well as in a few others. I was born in London, and spent some other early years in the eastern US. But Boulder is where I grew up, where I went to high school, where I learned to enjoy the world in which we live and to feel gratitude for its beauty, its bounty, its infinite possibilities, as limitless as the blue skies. And of all the places I have dwelled, there was always an ideal, a sense of peace and welcoming, which was pervasive in every inhabitant, student, and visitor. With violence and malice, that was broken today, and my heart hurts for Boulder, and I and so many friends and fellow beings weep for those who were taken in the abhorrent act, including the life of a peace officer. Boulder will heal, and heal through its ideals, which resonate so deeply within those who love this town, this valley, and its people. For those ideals are as unconquerable as the sun which shines upon Boulder, a place which loves, and which I love, eternally. ~ Alexander Emmert, Invictus Films. #boulder #colorado #rockies #peace #beauty #love #pain #heal #shooting #terror #bouldercolorado #loveboulder #boulderco #healing #grace #gratitude #honorthefallen #prayforpeace #boulderforever #boulderite

WIRES

WIRES has been rescuing and caring for wildlife for over 30 years and is the largest wildlife rescue organisation in Australia. We are passionate about supporting smaller volunteer organisations in the wildlife sector that are working towards the same goals as well as Universities, Veterinary associations and other environmental groups.

In the last 5 years we have been working closely with WWF-Australia, National Parks Association, Humane Society International Australia, The Wilderness Society, Animal Welfare League, NatureConservation Council, BirdLife Australia, ifaw and RSPCA NSW. We take this opportunity to thank these organisations for their significant contribution to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Sector.

While WIRES presence is mostly in NSW where we are responding to more than 90,000 rescues each year, we also receive around 170,000 calls to our 1300 WIRES line annually, including thousands of interstate calls where we provide rescue advice.

WIRES also plays a major role in national community wildlife education. Normally WIRES has several hundred thousand unique visitors to our website annually but we have had over a million unique visitors in the last couple of days.

Following these catastrophic fires WIRES is also very keen to pursue additional opportunities to help wildlife more broadly across Australia wherever possible, including partnering on projects to improve long-term outcomes for native animals.

We will be announcing in the coming days our support for new projects to assist bushfire affected animals in all regions.

Requiescat in Pacem: JOHN SINGLETON (January 6, 1968 – April 29, 2019), an American film director, screenwriter, and producer best known for directing Boyz n the Hood (1991). For the film, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director, becoming the first African American and youngest person to have ever been nominated for the award at age 24. Singleton was a native of South Los Angeles and many of his early films, such as Poetic Justice (1993), Higher Learning (1995), and Baby Boy (2001), consider the implications of inner-city violence. Some of his other films include dramas such as Rosewood (1997) in addition to action films such as Shaft (2000), 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), and Four Brothers (2005). He recently co-created the crime drama Snowfall.

BitMovio | Blockchain Meets Hollywood | Silicon Valley

And at last, the HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT is here!!! 😁

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — October 10, 2018 — The Invictus Entertainment Group (Invictus Films, Invictus Europa, Paddock Pictures and Avispa Films) today announced a content distribution partnership agreement with BitMovio, a Silicon Valley-based startup founded by some of the best minds in technology, entertainment, and venture capital. With a hybrid blockchain architecture, BitMovio provides a transparent marketplace enabling independent film producers and professional streamers to have complete control of their content distribution, flexible and instant monetization, and engaging audience interaction.

Through this agreement, the Invictus Entertainment Group will create, promote, and distribute its new development and production properties in feature and series formats through BitMovio’s platform. This will create an ongoing, original content “studio” available through BitMovio, utilizing blockchain technology and universal market access in the direct creation, funding, production, and exhibition of IEG through the Intellectual Property and literary holdings of its principals, award-winning film and television creators, Alexander Emmert and Cfa Weiss.

Alexander Emmert, CEO of Invictus Entertainment Group, said: “As creators of high quality content in the international marketplace, we have first-hand experience in the slow-moving traditional distribution platform space, and the seemingly inevitable slide towards commercialization within the newer ones. The mission and vision of BitMovio’s endeavor is refreshing to see in this industry, and we’re looking forward to how our partnership together will grow as we bring dynamic, eclectic content to a global audience through BitMovio’s marketplace.”

Simon Zhu, Co-founder and CEO of BitMovio, said: “The distribution challenges that Invictus Entertainment Group has faced in the video entertainment industry are a prime example of the issues that we’ve set out to solve with blockchain-enabled technology and a more transparent, connected marketplace between creator and consumer. We are pleased to be working with the team to see how we can build a more effective community-run marketplace and change the distribution paradigm for their business.”

Currently in beta, BitMovio is building a decentralized video streaming marketplace that leverages blockchain’s built-in incentives for peer-to-peer bandwidth sharing that drastically reduces streaming costs and enhances the viewer experience at the edge of the network. The marketplace creates a community that connects forward-thinking content creators with passionate consumers for storytelling and engagement, without editorial censorship from distributors. BitMovio enables fundamentally new ways for content creators to engage and monetize audiences, and involve audiences in the creative process.

Today’s partnership news falls on the heels of BitMovio’s recently announced content partnership with Arrow Storm Entertainment, Black Apple Talent, Elation Media, Fourth Media, and ImAirTV.

The Team here at Invictus Films lost one of our close friends recently, Mela Hudson. A talented actress, writer, director and producer, she enriched all those who she knew with her dedication to craft, her insightful opinions, quick wit, bright personality, and beautiful, shining soul. She was a caring, wonderful woman whose life and work were in tribute to the human spirit, dedicated to seeking understanding and ascendency in the exploration of authentic emotion in her artform. Clinical Depression is a horrific affliction which can strike down an otherwise strong, sturdy soul at any time. Su***de robs us of our friends and loved ones permanently, irrevocably. We will miss Mela’s charm, warmth, wit, intelligence and talent, all which were created by her fight with the storms within her. And we will miss them, and her, always. #itsmelahudson #melahudson #actress #artist #director #writer #producer #restinpeace #rip #gonetoosoon #splitcosts #eight #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #life #loss #depression #su***de #prevention #semicolonproject #reachout #bethere #lovealways
