The negotiation has closed

Instant and complete cessation occurs at this point, VUW and other 'stakeholders' in Weeded Out. Your claims of authorship were rubbished. Your claims of being able to improve my mental health are dubious, and your refusal to pay me has become a sore spot for all the professional creatives that y'all were attempting to talk into directing the film. Given my tangential relationship with the uni, it's really not my responsibility to paper over their extensive cuts to the humanities and social sciences. -

I'm writing a book. That's final. We can reopen negotiations when the book is done, but only if y'all let me have a low-stress Christmas and January, which is also likely to result in the book being written faster.
