Wow. The cinematography in Lord of The Flies on Netflix is awful. Constantly pulling me out of the show. The fisheye lens choices, the extreme out of focus depth of field is really awful. It's all so "look how artsy we are" feel. And for me it completely takes away from what the film should feel like.

This is absolutely an example where Cinematography is a big negative.

Just saw this :

" 🚨 A WHALE JUST BET $15 MILLION THAT OIL IS GOING DOWN.

Account value: $45 million. Total PnL: $25.5 million in profit. This is not a gambler. This is someone who has been right.

And they just opened a $15 million short on oil.

Entry at $104. Liquidation at $138. Short exposure at 71.75% of the entire portfolio.

This is not a hedge. This is a conviction trade.

The timing is everything.

Trump suspended Project Freedom on May 5. Trump-Xi summit is May 14. Pakistan is mediating with Iran. The market is pricing a handshake. This whale is positioning for the selloff the moment it arrives.

But here is what makes this dangerous.

The CMA CGM San Antonio was struck by a cruise missile inside the dome hours before the suspension. Hundreds of ships are still trapped in the Persian Gulf. S&P Global says seven months minimum to restore supply even after reopening.

Oil can fall on the peace headline. And still have nowhere to go but up by Q3.

This whale is playing the political clock. The supply clock is the one that liquidates you.

$138 is where this trade dies. Peace better come fast.

Are they a genius, or the most exposed person in the room?"

I am supposed to be shooting a feature this summer on Corfu, Greece, where I currently live. But I'm worried the writer won't be done on time, so I want a backup. Even if he finishes on time, I will still make the selected script afterwards.

.

-Min pages:75

-Max pages:100

-Additional requirements (optional):

-Max budget: $100k

-Writer compensation (dollar amount): credits and 10% of profits.

-Location resources: all over Corfu

-Actor resources (with descriptions): numerous actors on Corfu

-Crew resources: I'm a one man band. My first feature that I finished last year, won Best Director at the Hollywood reel independent film festival last year, and is now available on Apple TV and Amazon Prime.
