Kat’s Film Commission Details
“I was doing some life modeling with David Cobley, founder of Widcombe studios throughout last year and ended up with a list of artists with whom I was working. Contacts, always! David knew about my film interest and asked me whether I would consider making a documentary PR film for the studios, ‘as part of my learning’ he said. Code for: I’m not going to get paid. However, I had a meeting with him about a month ago and he asked me to quote him and he’ll put it to the committee! How to quote someone for something I’ve never charged for before? Lots of research and self assessment. No, I’m not going to tell you how much I quoted him, but he’ll said he’ll get back to me. I’ll keep you posted.”
