📷 War Photographer Lee Miller’s Biopic

Lee Miller's biopic called “Lee”, starring Kate Winslet is finally hitting screens this year. It’s a Sky production that’s been making waves on the festival circuit, and the trailer’s just been released.

The real-life Miller was a model-turned-photographer who risked everything to capture the truth on the front lines of WWII. Her story’s a heart-wrencher, and with Winslet's star power, this film's aiming for the history books too.

The film dives into Miller's life as she captured haunting images during WWII. Kate's already earning Oscar buzz for her portrayal of the pioneering photographer.

It’s a must-watch for history buffs and photography lovers alike.

💼 The Fear of Starting an Agency

Starting your own ad agency? It's a terror-fueled rollercoaster from day one—from the heart-pounding leap away from the safety of a regular paycheck to the nail-biting networking game. Legalities, finance, and HR nightmares all come knocking, and you’ll need nerves of steel.

You’ll sweat making those first solo pitches, and when you need extra hands, you’ll gulp at freelance rates. Co-working spaces and coaching sessions can take the edge off, but it's the people you hire that can make or break you. And let’s not forget the cash flow chaos.

But hey, don’t let that scare you off. There’s room for magic. It’s a rollercoaster, no doubt, but as the cash flow steadies, so does the heartbeat.

In the creative world, going solo is “scary,” but for one agency head, it’s also been a “magical” experience. Murder Hornet Media doesn’t have a big shop’s resources or an agency village to call home. But founder Matthew Hanley says he wouldn’t have it any other way. “Trying to continually do great work, managing cash flow, choosing your pitches, growing efficiently and keeping the culture,” he said. “Everything gets easier with a little money coming in”.

Just don’t forget your coffee and confidence on this adrenaline-fueled journey.
