We should add Strange Company to index as a short film

Cai Quo Chang is ther some way for us to represent the cool micro site? A screen grab perhaps?

Need to standardize title case

CG filter on index page should be capitalized (currently shows up Cg)

Love including the “rent on tv”, we should implement on all our movies that are available on tv (SDT, Nowhere Inn, IDUID)

Let’s make sure for all narrative projects we list festival premieres for example Ugh! premiered at Tribeca, Super Dark Times premiered at Tribeca and Rotterdam

We should probably move Nike “Strongest” up higher on the page, it’s so good!

For small fry let’s include the beautiful poster! … and need to fix all lower case stylization

Would like to try W&M logo that changes into “Ways & Means” on hover

Let’s do 3-up on the client logos

Would like to try and “grid” the masthead as much as possible

I think we should make the map more rectangular and centered on the page

Kill the dot at the bottom of the about page… It does feel like we need something else at the bottom …

Should we add a faint “© Ways & Means Global, Inc 2023 — Please do not send unsolicited materials of any kind” to the very bottom to ground things?

Should we re-shuffle the order so masthead is higher on the page and contact is at the bottom?

Should we list out our capabilities?

Love the floating icons on the about page, we should include the brockhampton sun, the freelance skull and the Somebody lips!

Add button to make additions to Index easier…

Need to standardize “Directed by” rather than “dir.” (Gracie Abrams for instance is Directed by). I’m leaning towards “Directed by” these days fwiw!

Include Bongs Fly in Summerland project

Change Small Fry project to camel case

do we need to remove apostrophe on the Linda Linda’s icon image too?

No need to say (post production) on “Athlete In Progress”

The Realest Real is using an emoji to denote Tribeca X finalist but seems to be the only place that appears? Generally speaking I’m not super excited about emoji’s on the website

In terms of naming … it is a bit confusing that for instance the skull says “Freelance” but then houses 2 toro y moi projects (?)

Liars Mess on a Mission no need to credit Shipping and Handling

Tables for Taco zone the text formatting in that blurb doesn’t look good — maybe not needed? Also just seems like wildly different tone than the rest of the site

We can remove Dixie Deadzone Diners from the webstie entirely. Yikes!

We can remove Sam Smith Money on My Mind entirely

We can remove Jimmy Choo “Cruise” entirely
