I met with Joel, Sebastien and Danny of Voyance Insights today. Gave them the big pitch – that if they assist our company, Veritas Entertainment, to create a website for free and it’s awesome – that they will have the opportunity to pitch Contained The Movie Pty Ltd for the chance to handle online marketing for the film.

Those three guys are super smart, and are used to working together at a level in which they get quickly bored with obvious statements. Unfortunately, when I open my mouth, that’s all that pretty much comes out, so I had to be aware of that.

Obviously, getting them on board gets us a website for our production company. But what I’m really keen to do is get Voyance on side to help market the film. They are leaps and bounds ahead of anything anyone else is doing in the corporate world, and I really believe that expertise could be applied to film promotion.

I finished my pitch, and Joel was giving me nothing. I couldn’t tell if he was bored, or disappointed, or what. I figured silence was my best friend as he considered my whiteboard notes that I had written to support what I had said.

Finally, Joel turned to Seb and said: “You need to structure the time you work on this properly. I can see you having too much fun with this, and we’ve got other customers to support.”

Seb nodded. “It’ll take me a few days to do it. Two weeks, tops.”

Joel turned to me and shook his head. “You see what I mean? He takes four weeks to create his website masterpieces for everyone else, but for your fucking film he’s going to do it in a few days.”

We were cooking with gas. Now we just need to come up with content for the site.
