Well, I have done many facets of entertainment in my career, from street performing to nightclubs, festivals and trade shows, but right now my bread and butter are corporate parties.

Clearly Gordon was at some event I was hired for, and like saying you saw someone at a New Kids on the Block concert-
it means you were there too.

If there's such an issue with corporations, then tell me how one might manage to extract one's self entirely from the matrix. Even if you don't draw an income from them as I do, many supplies for artists are made by corporations, transported by other corporations, and sold by another corporation.

It's one thing if you are a painter who mixes down your own oil paints, from readily available natural materials, but how does a filmmaker extract one's self? Even if you process your own film, someone had to make it... If you run on a straight digital platform, someone had to make the camera, and the computer that you edit on, unless you're still splicing by hand- which somehow I doubt. Nice Sony camera you're using in the photo on your website, Gordon!

It's a baseless arguement that holds no water, only serves to feed some exclusionary attitude of superiority. Using the tools of the empire to say how bad the empire is while dutifully feeding the beast is not going to change much, when strong messages get diluted by the second or third chapter in the series of what didn't need a sequel.

How much did that attitude cost? Four years of art school, (funded in part by grants from corporations) which had gear donated by corporations to teach young filmmakers to use their software over another, on computers from a third corporation?

Whatever.
I do what I love and get paid for it.
