Do the EP songs with Umar and any other staff members or PhD students that you don't hate?

Absolutely not. VUW must cease and desist from asking to use my intellectual property.

I cannot be plainer. I'm enrolled elsewhere, so they can't use my songs. All options have been exhausted and I am legally entitled to refuse to licence my IP. -

No matter how many thousands of times they try to ingratiate themselves into my life, they have failed to persuade me to change my mind. Calling me a pervert, and backing my perpetrator = no film.


VUW's staff should not have put their eggs in the Weeded Out basket. My script was NEVER going to save their jobs. I told them, hundreds of times, that they needed to begin and execute an ongoing political campaign to shame the university into saving the humanities departments that they're intending to cut.


No such campaign has emerged, so I'd imagine their jobs are basically fucked. Fucking pathetic ... too afraid of getting fired to protest about their impending demise.

Any suggestion of VUW using my material will be seen as a wilful breach of the cease and desist letters. That will result in legal action if ANY fragment of my scripts reaches production (or even pre-production) without my pound of flesh.

You, Sally-Jane, must immediately tell NZSM staff to cease their overtures towards me, and VUW's management must stop attempting to produce Weeded Out.


Meet me in another context by meaningfully and immediately respecting me as an adult that is worthy of being paid an adult salary for my creative work.


It is not my social responsibility to make a 'nice' film for rich people. Tina is dead as a film, but lives on as a book that I'm writing, and IIML wouldn't improve it because the book isn't some pretentious piece of 'literary' masturbation.
