That's just ridiculous really isn't it 😅 @88jorgemartin 🔥 #CatalanGP 🏁

In early 1992, an aspiring director asked James Cameron, How do you become a successful director? Cameron's movie "Terminator 2" was the top-grossing movie of 1991, so Cameron, who had no formal film education, was arguably the best person in the world to ask. Cameron replied, “If you have to ask somebody how to be a film director, you’ll probably never do it." Cameron added that this is his reply to everyone who asks him that question. For 2 reasons: Number 1... In his books on screenwriting, Syd Field writes that the core trait of all great characters is the character's “dramatic need.” With a “dramatic need” (to get something, to go somewhere, to beat someone, etc.), the character persists through the story’s relentless series of obstacles, problems, and conflicts. To become a successful film director, Cameron says, you need to have a dramatic need. Like a good story, the filmmaking process, Cameron explains, is a relentless series of obstacles, problems, and conflicts. Someone who gets discouraged by his reply, Cameron says, clearly does not have the “dramatic need” needed to persist. But “if [my reply] pisses you off, and then you go out and say, ‘I’m going to show that Jim Cameron; I am going to be a director’—that gives you the kind of true grit you need to have in order to go through with it.” Number 2... Of all the successful filmmakers Cameron knows, he said, “No two people ever did it the same way.” Their career trajectories were each uniquely shaped by their unique strengths and weaknesses. “Whatever your strengths and weaknesses,” Cameron says, “you have to find the path that’s going to work for you.” This made me think of a line from the comparative mythologist Joseph Campbell: “Where there’s a way or path, it is someone else’s path; each human being is a unique phenomenon. The idea is to find your own path." - - - “I’ve always felt that people seek out the information and knowledge they need. They seek it out and find it...Nobody will give you the pathway. It’s something you have to find yourself.” — James Cameron Follow @bpoppenheimer for more content like this!

Martin Brundle randomly deciding to interview this 89 year old photographer is amazing 😄📷

It's really tough being an independent business in the UK. We watch huge corporations with massive marketing budgets gobble up customers and then paying almost zero tax. This morning for example, we went into a beautiful coffee shop and had amazing coffee and food, but the place was really quiet. Walked past two famous chain coffee shops, with poor food and average coffee, and they were rammed. What chance do us small indies have? We can't undercut the big boys, we can't match their marketing spend. So we do what we can, we offer personal service, good quality and we chip away as best we can. This takes time, sadly time is also our enemy as we have to pay ourselves, pay our staff and pay the bills to simply exist. A massive thank you to all who choose to buy a bike or use us for a service, to those who choose an independent coffee shop or clothes shop or deli etc etc. Let's not accept homogeneous shopping and leisure experiences. Choose alternatives. When you do you're helping individuals to eat and pay bills rather than lining the pockets of people who don't even care about the products they sell, they simply want returns on investments. The bigger independents like us get the more people we employ, the more tax we pay and the more we contribute to society, your society. We work incredibly hard to simply be noticed. So please spend a few minutes thinking about choosing an independent brand above the ones who have the massive advantages over us. Sorry for the long ramble but it needs to be said.
