I AM A “POOR” FILM-MAKER; I’M MAKING AN INDEPENDENT FILM ABOUT “EMOTIONAL ILLNESSES IN THE COMMUNITY”.
I NEED SOME HELP TO DO THAT, HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS IN G. YARMOUTH , THE FEEDBACK WAS:- WE’RE SORRY, HAVE NO SUPPORT FOR SINGLE PEOPLE!!
-THANKS!!
SO, I AM A SINGLE PERSON,
” ” A SINGLE DAD,
” ” A SINGLE PHOTOGRAPHER,
” ” A SINGLE FILM-MAKER,
” ” A SINGLE ARTIST.
THIS IS CALLED ARTISTIC DISCRIMINATION.
ART FOR ART’S SAKE!
AM I LOST??

    Hi Manuel, it’s really hard to survive as an artist from the base of no money along with parental responsibilities. You have my sympathy, but keep up your courage – keep believing! Such hard times can give one’s work an edge it might not have otherwise and one that money couldn’t buy.

    Thanks Bridget!
    It’s hard for everyone, the trouble is, there’s no visions about art in Yarmouth from leaders, they working for themselves not for people, artists, etc. They don’t understand art and economy working together.
    I don’t give up, but am nearly there about working in Yarmouth, there’s no respect for artists, very depressing people around.

    Hi Emily, how’re you?
    You’re really kind and willing, thank you.
    You know about it, needs professional equipment, like HDV cameras, are very expensive, have no money for that. This is or will be a independent film, so It’s a little bit more hard.
    I’m free to talk , you know my feelings about it. To be honest, am not worrier, my “hard feeling”, was about the feedback from Organizations, they don’t helping single people…It’s hard to understand that, needs a group of people. Will see! See you soon. TY.

    Hey Manuel

    I’m good thanks How are you?

    I would defiantly be up for helping you. I will ask around about if I could get an HDV camera for free. I will let you know.

    I am shocked actually about responses from organisations, I don’t know what the percentage is, but I know a lot of people suffer with mental illnesses, and it is an issue that needs to be tackled. I currently work Friday and Saturday, but if you let me know when your free would be good to meet up and talk about it.

    Hi Manuel,
    Like Bridget said ‘Keep believing’ my point of view is as an artist you have a vision, a soul purpose…something that moves your heart & soul. Go with that, stay true to what moves & shakes you.Good wishes for your work,& as they say ‘ He who doesn’t howl will never find his pack’
    If I can help in any way just let me know.
    Regards
    Sue

    Hey Emily,
    really good feedback from you, amazing.
    Yeah this is a big issue, the big one nowadays, people don’t realise (Yarmouth organizations), in particular the leaders, It’s a shame,but that’s what we have. G. yarmouth is the most depressing area about emotional illnesses across UK. This is happens in all community’s, I mean, Portuguese, English, Lithuanian, Polish. Have been in touch with several people from that community’s, there is real problems about drugs, alcohol, dependencies. So
    dependencies are the cause to get emotional illnesses. I don’t want to be God, I wish to draw attention, because in 20 years time will be the first cause of death…EMOTIONAL ILLNESSES can imagine that?
    About the cameras, am really appreciated about your help, don’t get me wrong Emily but we need professional equipment, more than one camera, sound, light, this a big project, a professional project, we need to be careful. I need you Emily, really need. Thank you. Keep in touch.

    I Sue,
    a big thanks, I’m thrilled with your comment. How’re you?
    Yeah, I still believe, don’t give up, maybe am the wrong person in the right place, will see. I’m a believer, a dreamer, I know It’s hard, sometimes It’s like panic because, there’s no feedback, unbelievably is the true, am talking as an artist, feel myself descriminatad, isolated and a little shocked by the indifference of the leaders. You helped me a lot with your feedback. Thank you very much!
