My first paycheck...

as a director came today, for the sale of my strange film "Chronic" to the national tv station, RTE. 850 euro, after the film school nicked their 33 percent.

Still felt cool.

Do you know when it will be aired?

That's excellent Generic. Well done!

Cheers Justin, CurtinP.

Unknown at this point Pete, although it will be in the Shortscreen slot on a saturday night.

I presume they'll give me some notice, although according to the contract they're allowed show it twice beteween now and 2008.

Hopefully I won't have to wait a year or 3.

Congrats, Generic!

The only time when i was able to get some of my work on tv was a couple of years ago and it was only some bits of a pseudo-educational short movie made with my schoolmates.

But i never saw a single cent!!!
