To the Film Commission

1. You shouldn't be under the sway of film studio people. You're independent.

2. I don't need your money. My inheritance will cover my short films and a doco.

3. Weeded Out was a debacle. I want a real apology over the rights snafu.

- As for the Hollywood people, my answer is simple: Apple Corps owns all Beatles rights. That means I can include covers and my DDG realisations of their likeness. The script was a commission. Paul sought me out and nudged me to write it. It doesn't mean that your film is dead, unless Sony and Peter have come to a deal. They're afraid that Wētā's VFX will blow them away. - Haven't been paid by Paul, but I'm expecting to at some point this year. Putting his name on the script was a preliminary move, but also a sign that he likes it.
