Gigi —

All of this makes total sense to me, and I'm in.

The folder structure, the shared space, no dishes on the counter — understood and respected. I don't want to be the one who makes your project messy. I'll stay in my lane.

The 48TB OWC drive is the right call. I'll order it. And yes — I'll pull together every drive I have (small, large, flash) and bring them to you Monday. You'll have everything to look through. Whatever's on them, it's yours to dig through.

On the A041/A042 situation — thank you for the detail. The A042 → A039 unique clips is the important one. If those are different from the main A039 folder, that's footage we haven't seen. I'll mark that as a priority when you go through the drives.

Looking forward to getting into the film with you.

See you Monday.

Onward,
Thaddeus

Text James Faust: DIFF Industry Conference + Producer OS launch opportunity COMMS
James — quick one. I'm working on something I think is genuinely interesting for DIFF this year. I built an AI-powered production pipeline for my documentary in Ukraine — automated transcription, translation, proxy generation, searchable footage database. I want to productize it and I'm thinking DIFF could be the launch. Is there a tech track or industry panel this year where this would fit? Would love to grab 5 minutes.
Product name: Dailies (pending trademark check, fallback: Rushes). Working title: Producer OS.
