🎬 In our newest film, Ilana Harris-Babou as she explores what can happen when the tasteful aesthetics of aspirational media come into contact with the absurd, grotesque, and uncomfortable. “I think it's also a friction I'm living with constantly, right? And I think we all are. Between the space of fantasy we want to live in and then the truth that we kind of know about the instability of everything.” Watch the full film, free → https://lnkd.in/ev2dMXc5

In my discussions with organizations that are interested in introducing the FiSH! Philosophy to their coworkers, the effectiveness of a program that has been out for 25 years often comes up. While the practices of #bethere, #play, #maketheirday, & #chooseyourattitude are timeless, the delivery of the program is fluid. Facilitators like myself receive certification from Charthouse Learning and are constantly incorporating newer methodologies to help embed, reinforce, and sustain the practices within the workplace. Following are comments by the creator of #FiSH!Philosophy, John Christensen, that help to underscore this message.

Did you know that the final shooting script for Deadpool (2016) is not the exact same as what we see on film? We talk about the first page of Deadpool and what first pages can tell us. We also explore the differences in the film and the script.

One of the reasons I sought to practice intellectual property is it is so relevant and prevalent in daily life, but so many people do not fully understand the scope of rights, and limitations, to trademarks and copyrights. Even, apparently, Seinfeld. If Jerry needs an IP consultant for any projects, I'm available! This is pure genius in every way! #trademarklaw #trademarkinfringement #trademarkprotection #branding #IP

Undoubtedly amazing work!!! Undoubtedly amazing team!!! Experiencing dailies and get inspired by our amazing supervisors and the directors was mind-blowing!! But...hear me out. And this is NOT Sony targeted or anything . I just wonder about the sustainability of our industry as a whole.... I just can't wrap my head around it. Can someone please shed some light on why there are so many incredibly talented individuals out there who are struggling to make ends meet? It's mind-boggling to think that they are grappling with this madness. I mean, the whole excuse of "no project available" during a strike just doesn't make sense to me. Aren't there countless studios bidding for numerous shows every year, causing us all to work overtime just to meet the deadlines? Could someone please enlighten me on why the shows we pour our hearts into are celebrated worldwide and raking in millions, yet so many artists are left drained, burnt out, and desperately searching for work to make ends meet? It's disheartening to see some of the most talented people I know struggling. How are they even managing to keep going? How does anyone find the strength to carry on after facing such challenges? We all know it, we all live it. The conditions in most studios are far from ideal, to say the least. But as passionate artists, we soldier on, driven by our love for what we do. However, in the end, all we're left with is a pizza or a little gift and a thank you, as so many have pointed out. But these conditions are simply not sustainable. And now, to add to our worries, AI is threatening to take over some roles as well. How can we ensure that this art, this industry, doesn't wither away due to the lack of support and enthusiasm we once had when watching movies like this? Someone, please, tell me... CAN we, as a collective, come together and make it sustainable for ALL of us? . . . . . . . #thoughtoftheday #layoffs #discussion #collectivegrowth #pleaseshare
