The Outcome of Loyalty in a Creative Field
-For the Uncensored!
Loyalty is an endearing quality in the world of entertainment business. It’s how new companies and friends are formed. Sometimes it’s within coordinated film festivals, where filmmakers can talk in the South of France, and sell their new ideas to studio heads, getting them drunk, and making a deal in the middle of that drunk frenzy. Or going to a book store and spying someone who’s in the same aisle as you and having a conversation. With all this being said, talking to people for me is hard. It’s a condition of mine, called Aspergers. It’s not that I don’t mean well, but the way I talk sometimes makes people uncomfortable. And being brutally honest is a hard trait for surface level people.
But Loyalty in a creative field comes to many famous examples. The Rat Pack, meaning the relationship between Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Brian De Palma, Paul Schrader, and George Lucas is the bedrock of American cinema. They were once filmmakers who couldn’t get in the door of the faded cinema heads, like Warner, who were dying off.
The outcome of there loyalty created is the consequence of modern cinema, including such films as Star Wars, Goodfellas, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Mean Streets, Carrie, Scarface, Taxi Driver, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, ET, and all the films that are modern classics by most film critics and film goers alike.
In a modern context, there loyalty and friendship created a community of film-goers, but also artistry that is strengthened only through their love of cinema. But today, in a world of social networking, it’s hard to friends who are loyal. Creative people aren’t very loyal, and in the age of “clout chasing” only to be friends with someone long enough in order to get something from someone, never meeting in person, or talking on facetime, becomes a pyramid scheme. Sometimes
If youtubers make their living off their face, writers are their words, and social media, is a molding of persona and friendship. It’s easier to talk to people than it is to meet face to face. It’s odd, because female creators still vie for face to face meetings. Dates are still important. But to find a loyal peer group of creative peers, is hard. People have conflicting schedules, but also, social media, makes business more affordable to talk, too.
But loyalty doesn’t come from text messages. It comes from establishing compatriots, as you both are struggling for the same goals. No matter what side you are on. Trying to chase a famous person has never worked out. Because you’re merely a fan to them, and not a person. Never having met that many people I follow online, is still a nice back and forth. Finding people who share the love for books, film, fashion, politics, or at least having a rational conversation is a good thing. That’s always a good outcome.
Loyalty, when it comes to art and commerce, and if you can find friends who need that support, and they help you, you’re on your way. Friendships are still important, and meeting them in real life cements that quality of life forged through online interaction. If you don’t feel that instantons connection, it’s fine. Some people are different than they are in real life.
People can’t live a life online, and business and relationships can’t be done that way, either. So, if you support the people you care about professionally, who need it the most, you’re half way there.
