It's definitely a balance to understand that you have to be everywhere you can at once without sounding like the hustle-bros were right. I think you got that balance right here.
AI has added a whole new challenge as you not only have to be everywhere, but it has to be better than what AI can do.
To echo Sophie and Lauren - appreciate the amplification, and it means a lot that you've been enjoying the newsletter!
Also - I was at Vidiots in Eagle Rock last night and I saw your name on their donor recognition wall, and I was like "That name sounds so familiar." Then this morning I saw this post mentioning HNTBATVW...
I guess that means I'm a pre-cog???
(but also I recall seeing your name in the Filmstack database)
Turns out you are in fact a filmstack pre-cog! Not sure HOW useful a superpower it will be for you in the future but it's an exciting development!
I am SO GLAD to have been "spotted" at Vidiots!! One of my favorite institutions in the world.
Really genuinely have been enjoying HNTBATVW! It's a great read, very thoughtful, very insightful, and always look forward to the next issue.
Was the filmstack database a Ted Hope thing? I feel like I saw that someone had put one together but lost it. If you have a link can you send my way? Would love to check out the full list.

100%. Never want to be a hustle-bro but I do always want to hustle, bro!
Ugh I love how you can be both a realist about the industry AND super encouraging - loved this, Colby ❤️

I should probably pin it to my Substack for greater visibility 🤔
I remembered seeing it and then lost it!! Thank you for sharing (and STRIKE TED'S NAME FROM THE RECORD)
Thanks for the shout out, Colby!
I love an ambitious (but completely achievable) writing deadline!!
Well then, you have two weeks to choose your concept :D
This was FULL of insightful gems, thank you for sharing Colby. Also appreciate your shout-out ♥️
thank you!! we’re all just trying our best to make movies better!
