Brent Barson’s

F is for Fail

High-flying ups and sideways-spiraling downs. False starts and fresh starts. The creative process can be unpredictable. Brent Barson’s short film F is for Fail is the story of one person’s creative roller coaster, told through type in an evocative A to Z.

About the filmmaker

His personal work is focused on experimental short films, including the opening titles for the Typophile Film Festival

How to play nice: The Veer Ideas Code

1. Try it!

You don’t have to be an expert. Browse a bit. See how it works. Then jump in.

2. Sharing is good

Veer Ideas is about your work, your ideas, your inspirations. So upload, post, and comment liberally. Tag stuff so people can find it. The more you share the more we’ll all benefit.

3. Be nice, be respectful, be constructive

Pretend you’re speaking face-to-face. Accept that not everything will be to your taste. Explain why you don’t like something, or how it might be better. Don’t just diss.

4. Keep it creative

Veer Ideas is a wide-ranging place. Anything to do with creative inspiration, creative people, design, advertising, media, that kind of thing, is fair game. Stuff outside that might be really interesting too - but please, post it elsewhere.

5. Respect copyrights. Give credit.

Basically: Don’t steal, misrepresent, or be sneaky. If in doubt, don’t. (It’s all in the Terms of Use.) Credit your fellow creators. Don’t steal their spotlight - help them shine.

6. Don’t advertise, spam, or scam

Show how creative you are, but don’t blatantly promote yourself, your products, or anyone else’s. You know what we mean. For details check the Terms of Use.

7. Think of the children

Don’t overreact, swear, or go on a tear. (See point 3.) We’ll remove offending posts and ban repeat offenders. (You guessed it: Terms of Use.)

8. We’re (all) here to help
