Damn internet still wasn’t working last night but I had to get this down there and then. Uploaded the morning after, and split into sections that A-N‘s system can manage.
I can only add that because sweet Monica (one of the Lithuanian artists) had moved into the room adjoining mine – and locked the shared door while my bag was in my room – locking me OUT. The others had gone to the lake but Eero showed me the footage that he’d taken of the evening’s unfolding. It’s golddust.
More: I’ve had an email back from Eve, a pal of mine who has worked for years in reality TV. She said this:
“No I have never seen a contract where you can fine contributors. Basically even if they sign a release form, they can pull out anytime they like. Then it’s a moot point whether you can show their contribution up to the point they pulled out. It depends on whether they say they would be damaged by the broadcast… But from point of view of the producer, you have very little power to make contributors behave. Never heard of a contract where you fine people.”
I’m half on my way to the airport and half thinking this could be such fun. But whatever happens, I’ll try to stick with the rest of the group. Solidarity is key.
