Why not direct the feature?

Yes, I'm glad that with the videos people understood my pitch significantly better, but let's start with the practical problem: 1. The Posterize + grading effect looks great on a small screen. It doesn't look so great on a movie screen, and I doubt upscaling would solve that because the artifacts are what is effective on the small screen. 2. Anything that involves rotoscoping would be time-consuming and expensive, and end up far beyond $1 million (which is about all the Film Commission can afford). Having to pay people to render frame-by-frame is simply not cost effective, and a live-action film obviously wouldn't work, given you all hated my idea until I solved the animation problems. 3. I don't need to make another indie movie, and if Sir Peter is genuinely keen about Shipwrecked on Islands, that would be a learning experience. - The script + the big smoke conveyed everything that I needed to convey, and as I typed earlier, the victory lap is not my idea of fun and I am simply NOT interested. Plus coming out stories are passe, and - to drive this home - anyone who cannot accept that I don't pass has to get real and acknowledge there's no laws which stop me from being me re: gender expression. My whinge is about employment, and I'm lucky to have found an employer who tolerates my gender expression. 👍 - The Welly arts community can either make friends with me again, or piss off. I'm busy with my movie idea, and I chose the one that wasn't driving me mental (which was the Weeded Out feature).
