Soul Searcher: June 15th 2006

Had a meeting with Katie Button, my new point of contact at Wysiwyg. She was very positive and enthusiastic. Today was the first day of the wholesaler’s campaign to sell the DVDs to highstreet shops. This apparently involves them sitting the head buyer for, say, HMV down in front of a Powerpoint presentation consisting of the trailer, cover “art”, synopsis, etc. I’m not sure it’s a very pleasant thought that four years of my life and creativity has been boiled down into Powerpoint, that cheesily-transitioned opiate for the office-bound masses. (Weeeeeee! There goes bullet point number three, flying on! It’s almost like I’m not a hamster on a wheel!)
