Okay. I have to go all in on this, especially as I see this all the time in indie film: you cannot put the idealistic dream of "the idea" ahead of the actual welfare of the people participating. It doesn't matter how noble and sincere the goal, you simply cannot. https://twitter.com/UniversalFanCon/status/987542621882146816 …

I think about how to ground my film shoots in the same liberatory politics as the stories I want to tell. I think it’s crucial, and also structurally very difficult — because the modern film crew is based on a militarized hierarchy promoted by white supremacist DW Griffith.

If I ever wanted to do a PhD, I’ve often thought I’d do it on the white supremacist structural legacy of DW Griffith in the film industry — and how to fight back.
