We hit the first project milestone today (Business Set-up) scheduled for the end of the month. Great start!
I'm going to need all the time to spare to get the first cut of the design documentation done by the end of Aug. That's the point at which HOW this gets done gets written down in detail and cut back to a scope that's achievable. I'll be looking to you all for the help you can muster.
As alluded to in the report to NESTA below, it has been a hard month in terms of sourcing people for the next phases. I'm still looking for a python programmer to assist me in tools creation and only two film producers (both very promising) have been interviewed.
Warm welcome to new members of the team Kate Griffiths-Lambeth (HR advisor to the stars), Tim Donlevy (biz dev advisor extrordinaire), and Alex Zinzi (globe-trotting community curator of all that's cool, kitch and new).
Big thanks to everyone who's chipped in this month especially ChristineC on the finance side, ArchieM on the contracts, MikeE (for virtual set work on the short film MISSED I'm directing - good food for thought re. SANCTUARY's Bush Bash sequence), RobB for unwittingly throwing my entire online distribution plan into welcome disarray, PaulM for yet more list server capability and MattP lending a hand with that most glamorous of chores, sysadmin and many more for bits and bobs that make all the difference.
Game on!
