I haven't seen the documentary and so can't comment on it in that regard.

Second of all I am VERY aware of the costs of funding media projects like documentaries etc and the incredible hard work that goes into such things.

Third of all I am not going to continue beyond due to the antagonistic and offensive tone of your post ("idiotic comments", "verbal idiocy"). These sorts of comments wouldn't be operated by a member who doesn't have connection with the companies promoted by Cult Labs (and this certainly hasn't been the first time you've responded offensively to someone who was saying something other than glowing praise about your work) and I genuinely hope this is addressed by a moderator on this forum as a result.

I understand your reply. I've deleted my comments.

I'm too close to this project to not be snippy and for that I apologise. I probably should have been less 'infuriated' in my response to you.

I'm not after 'glowing praise' of my work. The problem here is that the documentary itself is not being discussed. What is being discussed is why unaffordable footage from films is not included in the documentary. I would have felt this question answers itself.

That said, I'm bowing out of this discussion as it is hugely unfair for me to get involved.

I'll have to step in. Can we please keep it civil? We can all agree to disagree, without telling people their comments are idiotic. We're all entiltled to our opinions, God knows, more often than not, I disagree with lot of people on here (and I have been known to seem aggressive in some of my replies). So let's just step back, breath, and count to 10. See if that helps

And if not, will, f**k you all! That's a joke btw (please don't take it seriously!).

EDIT: took too long in my reply there.

I appreciate that Calum, I genuinely do.

And an aspiring film maker who has worked on a number of no-budget projects I understand how it feels to read potentially dismissive/negative comments which betray the sheer amount of effort and work that has gone into the project so in that sense I do see where you are coming from.

Again, just so I am clear the point of my post wasn't meant to be "I can't believe there's no Freddy footage in this documentary", it was "I can imagine that as a result of the cover people will say 'I can't believe there's no Freddy footage in this documentary', while being oblivious to the budget of the documentary and the work gone into it"
