Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:32pm

I will totally help you, MB let’s get you a grant!

heavy, but still a relief from real events. remember, art exists to make living bearable.

even though real events are art too, as it turns out. mainly theater..

Avatar 5:43pm
Linda Lee:

yeah..
what's the grant you think MB should go for?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:43pm
solo mon:

Agree LL. This is cathartic. Art interpretation of life experience and vice versa at this point. The feedback loop is getting shorter.
Avatar 5:44pm
Linda Lee:

let's not forget that life experience is also manufactured to a good extent.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:45pm
solo mon:

It’s an art grant called regional arts council. They are small grants but good to get your feet wet or get your chest wet as Jan would say.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:45pm

Right?! Perception of norm or perception of anything is just that!

very little experienced by the majority in the course of a day is organic. independent of human manipulation.

Definitely been a struggle to get studios to let black filmmakers make movies. That seems to be changing in some ways lately.
Avatar 6:36pm
MrCrispy:

What the studios for got was that the "exploitation" part was about the audience and the money they spent going to see movies where people that looked like them were repped onscreen

there still seems to be tokenism to the industry. 'minority' filmmaking is nowhere! a black here, an asian there, a woman over in the corner..

i think we fall pretty naturally into cooperation when it matters & when we're not being driven to conflict for political reasons. think of what hapens in natural disasters. no question. when it matters, we do it. that's our nature.
