Article Comment – Aaron Sorkin's Post-Election Letter to Daughter: 'We'll F*cking Fight'

In case you missed it earlier, I'll write it again for you.

- There are enough politics in the mainstream media.
- You create division, and will lose clients and friends with content and quarrels like this.
- It's a waste of time.

Based on what you've commented earlier in the day here:
You don't argue logically, and I refuse to quarrel with you.

The kind of attitude you brought to this conversation only supports my point on why I don't subscribe to politics on No Film School.

Article Comment – Aaron Sorkin's Post-Election Letter to Daughter: 'We'll F*cking Fight'

I think you both of you are missing the point.

We are not encouraging willful ignorance or censorship. We are saying there is a time and a place, and No Film School is not the appropriate platform to push political agendas.

Why? Because I came here to learn about Filmmaking.

Just in case you guys didn't know:
- There are enough politics in the mainstream media.
- You create division, and will lose clients and friends with content and quarrels like this.
- It's a waste of time

Another point I point out in my post below:

This write up did not challenge any of us in any way. It merely presents Sorkin's left winged political account and leaves it on the table.

Article Comment – Aaron Sorkin's Post-Election Letter to Daughter: 'We'll F*cking Fight'

I would challenge anyone reading to examine with a critical mind why we're seeing a politically charged write up like this on No Film School.

According to the about page of No Film School, "No Film School is the leading worldwide community of filmmakers, video producers, and independent creatives."

NOT the leading worldwide community of politicians.

Regarding the comments above mine:
Are any of us really speaking with authority in terms of politics here?

Another thing... Did anyone ever see this leading to a fruitful conversation about filmmaking?

What I see is an attack from the left on right wing politics, and No Film School choosing to participate by making this their agenda/allowing their writers to push this agenda.

I get it though; being a filmmaker means using your craft to tell a story and stories that are often times inspired by the human experience. This article didn't challenge us in any way, but simply presented Sorkin's story with a provocative title and left it on the table.

Personally, you lost me on this one NoFilmSchool.com

I'm not hung up over this though. I'll be following all of the latest greatest filmmakers on Youtube, Instagram, and Facebook, and learning much more from those channels and original blogs than I ever learned here.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. I haven't seen valuable original content on Nofilmschool in a while. Most content is shared from the channels of original content makers that are actually creating valuable content.

If you have to use provocative titles, and share politically charged content to engage your audience it's time to reevaluate where you are as a business.

Boards Comment – What's the most cost effective camera?

I'm a noob man(first year shooter), but I shot this on a used canon 6D(around $1000 price point)

Honestly, I never considered Panasonic before, but those videos referenced earlier have beautiful images.
