Digging Up the Nitty-Gritty

       Everyone tells me I'll just have to learn through my own mistakes. I've been told I'll fail a few times before I can get a hang of it, sort of like falling through the ice on a pond. The ice around you breaks as you grasp it. Breaking and breaking, and you can't get out until you reach thicker ice.
(survival note: you should have a buddy who can throw you a rope or a few buddies who can lay out and form a human chain to get you. cover as much surface space as possible to avoid everyone else falling in too)
       HAHAHAHAHA, these people should get to know me better. I am not a fan of failing, and I am going to do everything I can to avoid it. Learning from mistakes is fine, but making knowingly avoidable mistakes is not.
      Today I reached out to LinkedIn, asking documentary-oriented groups to share advice with me about the business-side of filmmaking. I am going to do my research, learn financial and legal obstacles before I reach them so as to destroy them that much faster.

International Policy of Individua Morality

          Despite its title, this post will be short. I just watched We, a documentary created and posted anonymously on the internet for free consumption. We wants to be a modern Koyaanisqatsi consumable for mainstream viewers, and it brings to the table the same moral dilema as Waltz With Bashir, the case of Kitty Genovese, and much of Holocaust Cinema: knowing is as damnable as doing if you do nothing about it.

          On another note, I'm very busy lately, and I'm working on revamping the blog, in which case these short posts will be in a separate section.

          I found something awesome! http://www.filmsforaction.org/walloffilms/ Check it out, it's a whole bunch of documentaries "for change" you can watch for free on the internet.

Later,
