It was magical working on a new project by Richard Summers-Calvert at Crucible Films yesterday.
I last work with him on this award winning 'PUNDEMIC'.
Wonderful cast and crew. Being a new project I'm under strict instructions to say no more!
But I can say I had a 'Devilishly' good time. 🙂

Boys & their hobbies: Apparently acclaimed directors JJ Abrams, Steven Spielberg, and Guillermo del Toro like to buy armloads of model kits & spend a Sunday afternoon together building them.

Imagine the conversations.

Becoming a #BCorp allows firms to add a social output to the requirement to seek to make a profit (& requires attention to social outputs as part of #directors fiduciary duties).

The growth in firms so registering, prompts the Q. is:

is this enough, or is it any more than a sophisticated form fo #greenwashing?

Indeed without further re-structuring away from #capitalist organisational forms, is it anything more than business as usual?

We'll need to assess their wider practices to know!

#BOEING: #Directors to Face #Investor_Lawsuit over #Fatal_Crashes | Boeing's board of directors must face a lawsuit from #shareholders over two fatal crashes involving its 737 Max #plane, a US #judge has ruled | Morgan Zurn said the first crash was a "#red_flag" about a key #safety_system on the #aircraft "that the board should have #heeded but #instead_ignored" | She said the #real_victims were the #dead and their #families but investors had also #lost #billions of dollars.

Boeing said it would "consider next steps".

In her ruling the Delaware judge said: "While it may seem callous in the face of [the families'] losses, corporate law recognizes another set of victims: Boeing as an enterprise, and its stockholders.

"Stockholders have come to this court claiming Boeing's directors and officers failed them in overseeing mission-critical airplane safety to protect enterprise and stockholder value."

Boeing to pay $2.5bn over 737 Max conspiracy
Boeing 737 Max: What went wrong?
The crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia in 2018 and 2019 killed all 346 people on board, leading to the 737 Max being grounded around the world.

Investigations later found a flaw in an automated flight control system, known as MCAS, was at fault.

In January, Boeing paid $2.5bn to settle criminal charges it concealed information about changes to MCAS from safety officials, contributing to the crashes.

But it still faces civil lawsuits from families along with the latest action from shareholders.

On Tuesday, Vice Chancellor Zurn dismissed some of the investors' claims, including one regarding a decision to award former chief executive Dennis Muilenburg a $60m retirement package after he was fired.

However, the judge said another claim about board member oversight could go ahead. Shares in the plane maker slumped following the accidents and are yet to fully recover.

A Boeing spokesperson said: "We are disappointed in the court's decision to allow the plaintiffs' case to proceed past this preliminary stage of litigation.

"We will review the opinion closely over the coming days as we consider next steps."

The Max was cleared to fly in the US in November 2020, and in Europe and Canada in January this year. It remains grounded in China.

The crashes have already cost Boeing about $20bn in fines, cancelled orders and other costs.
