there is always more there than we know

HopeForFilm’s The Five is a gathering of links and ponders picked from this garden of information we call our daily life, that I find particularly relevant to those who create and aspire to a culture where we don’t have to depend on the large corporate powers to tell us what they want and think will work for their business plans. Yes, it is cinema-centric, but much will be applicable to other fields. Let’s plant some seeds. The5 is a gift to all those that choose to support HFF through the premium paid subscription. Thank you.

I’ve removed the paywall from a couple of posts recently if you’d like to share them far and wide. Please do. They won’t stay that way forever.

Will Hollywood “generally become more self-censoring and less capable of critiquing the current political moment, if not less influential overall.”
