1:27

the moment, if you buy and sell a stock, if you

1:30

and I do that, there are about 11 counterparties

1:33

that share in that little trade

1:35

that you and I just did.

1:37

Brokers, exchange, clearers, central securities, depositry,

1:39

a bank, a registrar, it just

1:42

goes on and on and on.

1:45

You're like, what? But actually, why

1:47

don't we try to break it and solve it?

1:49

But in a regulated and licensed environment where we

1:51

can say, okay. job

26:00

and then you go into the big white world of getting

26:02

work. That work generally, you

26:04

have to be hired by production, whether

26:07

it be a TV production, film production, web

26:10

series, whatever. Ultimately, there's the producers that

26:12

are hiring you, but they will employ

26:14

usually a casting director to go out

26:16

and find the talent. That casting director's

26:19

job is to know talent, it's to

26:22

find the right actor for the roles

26:24

that the director and producer have given

26:26

them, and then to make

26:28

those suggestions, and also make offers

26:30

to named asks. They have

26:32

relationships with agents, so if you need Brad

26:34

Pitt in your movie and you have enough

26:36

money, they go and broker that deal. That's

26:38

something they are the gatekeeper. Why

26:41

I don't love that term

26:43

so much is because it

26:45

for many years and still does disempower

26:48

actors. When you're starting out,

26:50

you feel that sense. You

26:52

really feel like there's somebody keeping that

26:54

gate in a negative way. You

26:57

have to get through them like the big bad boss of the video

27:00

game. They're great people.

27:02

No, they're not. They generally are great

27:04

people. However, I will say this, sometimes

27:06

the hierarchy and the position gets the

27:09

better of some. Certainly for

27:11

me growing up in the UK industry,

27:13

I did experience that gatekeeper vibe of

27:15

don't call us, we'll call you type

27:17

thing. Actually, because I've always

27:20

been a business person, you talked earlier about

27:22

me trying to disrupt things

27:24

in a positive sense. I was

27:26

like, well, you're another business person

27:28

like we are. I wouldn't

27:30

expect any business to say, don't approach

27:32

me, don't call me. If I want

27:34

to email you, you're a business person,

27:37

I'll email you. If you don't want

27:39

to reply, that's your prerogative. Sure.

27:41

But there is this mythology

27:43

in the acting industry of, you don't

27:46

want to upset anyone, there might be

27:48

this mythical blacklist, all these things. I

27:51

think people take that too far to

27:53

the sense that they feel like they

27:55

cannot simply approach somebody with their professional

27:58

offering. That's a very more. With
