L.A. / Cali you up? New York increases film and TV tax credits to $800M to compete for Hollywood films. That includes a separate $100M fund for independent productions.

Cannes Film Festival just banned nudity. That includes ‘voluminous outfits’ including dresses with long trains that would hinder the proper flow of traffic for the event. Tackling the big issues I see!

Diddy’s trial has officially begun. Not much to say on this one.

'The Substance' Studio Eyes $1 Billion Valuation. MUBI the relativity unknown (in terms of general population perception) streaming platform, production company and distributor is raising $100M per Puck.

‘Thunderbolts*’ led the box office with $33 million. ‘Sinners’ was not far behind with $21.1 million, and ‘A Minecraft Movie’ sits in third with $8 million.

Madonna’s life story will be told by ‘Stranger Things’ producer. Shawn Levy will be bringing her story to life in a Netflix limited series. Yes you read that right.

Warner Music generated $1.48 billion in Q1. Subscription streaming revenue was up 3.2%, and total revenue was up by 1.2% year over year.

Kid Cudi’s new memoir comes out this Summer. Cudi shares that the book is “filled with so much about my journey from my first memory to turning 40. Life lessons, the rager period of my life, and fighting my demons.” Sign me up.

📝 Tip of the Day:

You can accomplish more in a 5-minute face-to-face than in a week of email chains. Real relationships are built on trust, and trust is built in person.

In a world where most of our time is spent behind screens, make time to step out. Grab that coffee with your aunt’s hairdresser’s nephew you’ve been dodging for five months. You never know where a single conversation might lead or what doors it might open.
