I was script editing for one of Australia's most respected Director / Producers. We attended a gruelling feedback session with a TV network. Their notes ruined a character arc and ruptured the soul of a very cleverly written episode. Afterwards this guy said to me, 'don't ever forget what side of the desk we sit on.' I've never forgotten it. You need both sides of the desk.
Great article David... No surprise there, 😀
No not really. But worth repeating.
Enjoyed this thanks! Great analogies
Thanks Adam.

Yes. I guess you could say the statistical view enables the financing which enables the work. There is a mutual dependency.
Perspective is everything!
Exactly so.
That's a deep insight, David.
Thanks Mike. I think it gets missed or overlooked; people assume they're on the same page when they're not.
It's good to have this out in the open, so there are no illusions.
