Blade Runner 2049 Review – Cells Within Sells Published December 29, 2017.   UPDATE: My journey of fighting economic inequality has lead me down the path of doing more a/v production. With an increased awareness of visual literacy and production methods I’m beginning to incorporate my background in economic histories with visual literacy.   I want to share some of the things I’ve been learning regarding film theory and how to deconstruct the process of production and the ideologies transmitted through film.   To this effect, I’m experimenting with doing a vlog series on Film Theory, if people are interested, I will produce more.   Thanks,   Kevlexicon     Sources:   List of Ethnic Groups in the United States by Median Household Income – Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_United_States_by_household_income   Taylor Sheridan – Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Sheridan   Dennis Villeneuve – Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Villeneuve   Telefilm Canada – Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telefilm_Canada   Incendies – Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incendies   Prisoners – Anatomy of a Scene – NYTimes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCYRAH0jQH4   Scanners – Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanners   Videodrome – Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videodrome   David Cronenberg – Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Cronenberg   Hiam Abbas – Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiam_Abbass   Daniel Day-Lewis – Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Day-Lewis   Jared Leto – Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Leto   Richard Wright (author) – WikipediaRead More →
