I don't know how you lot got it into your heads that you had a right to produce my feature script, but I think that you proved that you're neophytes in my business. Things like IP rights are super-important in commercial media, and that's what you were essentially proposing to me.


I didn't appreciate the idea of not being paid, and the notes were atrocious. Nobody Māori.

It's important to clarify that all our films are independent productions, and that the joke of The Dakumentary title was that it was a parody of all those prestige TV titles. Like 'who cares: insert title here!'


It's nice to have the private income to continue my leisurely lifestyle, and I'm really not appreciating all these constant slurs about my living situation and how the Lilburn house 'must' be better. As far as I'm aware, there's been nothing said to my face about me in the boarding house. -


A couple of weird evenings with older women, but that's all, re: tawdry tales (yes, really). - I'm not practicing because I'm composing.
