Summary

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip catches you up on what's been developing in his section of the film making world.

Saying 'Pip catches you up" is a very broad sweep of an expression actually. If you follow Pip on socials and have been charting the moves in his making of 'Area Of Oustanding Natural Beauty' (the short-turned-long film backed by many on Kickstarter), you'll have seen him opening up in raw, emotional honesty about the decision to shelf the project. Shelf does not mean disappear. But it's a really sad position to be in, as the leader and instigator of the project. The feeling of responsibility, the feeling of letting multiple people down, not to mention the reality of a project not being realised to full potential after so much work being put into it. As well as the co-existing reality of the state of affairs of working class art being almost impossible to make right now.

Let's let Pip take the stage on this one though, and you'll also get a moment to hear the Instagram video which caught Pip at the most publically vulnerable stage of what you could call the creative grieving process. We are so used to hearing about the wins. The successes. The 'killing it' mindset. We don't often hear about the projects and ideas which didn't make it. Maybe we can find a way to celebrate them all as one... Join Pip to hear about the journey.

0:00.0	Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast and this is a change to your regular programming.
0:09.1	I had another episode lined up for this week. In fact, I've got a month and a half's worth of episodes already recorded and good to go.
0:18.5	But there's been some changes in plans and I wanted to jump on and talk
0:23.0	to you guys about it because I think it's important. Right, before we continue on with the podcast,
0:27.4	a quick word from today's sponsor, Dirty Velvet Clothing. If you're anything like me,
0:32.0	then you like to comply with your legal obligation of not being naked in public, which actually,
0:36.6	I say that, it's not actually
0:37.9	illegal to be naked in public. It's only illegal if someone takes offence, which is a weird
0:42.1	little wrinkle in the law. But it's probably still best to cover up your weird little wrinkles.
0:47.2	So why not cover them up with dirty velvet clothing? Not only are they really comfortable
0:51.0	and built to last, but they're kind to the planet. No nasty chemicals or harmful pesticides, just pure 100% organic cotton. And not the same boring
0:59.7	logos that make you look like a walking billboard. They're really great, cool looking
1:04.7	designs that there's loads of different designs on it. I picked like five from the website,
1:09.4	and I could have picked a load more.
1:14.6	And it's not like, I said, it's not like all just overbranding and things like that.
1:21.0	It's just really interesting and fun designs. And you can get money off, 20% off, by using the code SP20 when you check out at dirty velvet.com.uk. That's 20% off at dirty velvet.com.

1:30.7	So use the code SP20 now.
1:33.2	Right.
1:33.7	On with a podcast.
1:34.5	This base of fiction is the
1:36.7	income to the destruction.
