Well, they should have a lot of subject matter around Ballard Avenue, the Commons, etc – perhaps a needle search
Maybe they can film a junkie documentary – day in the life of a hobo:
-commit property crime
-spread used needles around
-harrass bystanders and pedestrians
-beg for money outside of grocery store
How about an expose on Seattle’s broken political system and the entrenched, corrupt officials at City Hall?
No? Yeah I didn’t think so.
That would actually make for an interesting documentary – maybe not so sarcastic, but think about it. Seattle has been a city of two extremes for a decade now – an escalating homeless population, and an escalating, high-wage influx of tech workers.
You could talk about the 10-year plan to end homelessness, the Head Tax fiasco, affordable housing, and any number of opposing issues that have changed the landscape of the city.
At the same time, you could have a sub-plot about the growing number of progressive residents, and how their views on social justice have altered the elected officials governing the city.
You mean explore how blue-haired lunatics have ruined the political process with their Marxist “shaming/chilling effect” tactics, and how they blame the predictable consequences of their failed policies on Trump, capitalism and “patriarchy”?
Also, before you snowflakes get your panties in a bunch, “Chinatown” was a movie about L.A. corruption starring Jack Nicholson and directed by Roman Polanski.
This is a great opportunity for many students to have good practical experience. I once managed to become a journalist at a university event, so I had to publish a newspaper describing all the events. The writing service https://assignmentbro.com/us/ helped me a lot since I had little experience in writing articles. Therefore, filming the festival is a very cool opportunity for students filmmakers.
It’s very cool that student films will be shown at the international film festival. Great to have hobbies that bring results. I try to find time for a hobby and something that interests me, but there is not always an opportunity for this. Now I’m busy preparing a personal statement, and it takes a long time. And although I found services that can help with personal statement write, it still requires my constant presence. I want to get it ready as soon as possible so that I have more time for myself.
