This Week's Updates

So I covered indie films in both of my posts this week.

I think that made blogging more fun because it felt like I had a theme going. That may be something I consider pursuing in a personal blog in the future.

It has been a lot of fun for me to decide what I research for the week and then write a story about. It was difficult for me to choose a story this week because none of the blogs I'm following had an update that interested me. In addition, gathering information on indie movies can prove to be extra challenging because there's not a lot of information on them. Indie films are often overlooked by film critics and in movie reviews. Which means I either have to dig extra deep or watch the film myself.

The stories I've written this week and last week have shown my growing criticism of the industry. I am trying to shed more light on those underrepresented groups in the film industry. Simultaneously, I want to shed light on the films that are working to make sure that minority groups are represented in their films.

Last week I did an update about the LGBT film festival FilmOut, which seeks to improve the community in San Diego by representing the diverse groups there.

I think diversity in film is really important. I'm glad I've been able to use my blog as a platform to discuss an issue which is so important to me.
