Law For Child Actors

 The important bill AB1660 was passed this week it requiring criminal background checks for managers, publicists, photographers and others with unsupervised access to young performers.The bill, gained support last year after the reported arrest of a convicted child molester. The Authorities determined Jason Murphy had been employed on movies with children including J.J. Abrams’ SUPER 8.Until now, only agents and studio teachers have been required to take a criminal background check.
 The importance of this article is that this law protects child actors from sex offenders. There is a greater sense of safety for any parent of this kids in the industry.
 As a future filmmaker this makes me want to know who you are working with. I mean i don't my producer to be some lunatic.
 The question that I'm asking is did the parents of these kids every think to get this guy who's usually alone with your kid check out. Before something terrible happens to your child. I mean really?

Maker of anti-islamic film goes into hiding

 The  trailer for Innocence Of Muslims, a movie written, produced and directed by filmmaker Sam Bacile, is being blamed for creating a deadly demonstrations in Cairo and Benghazi on Tuesday. Tensions in the middle east were raised when the US ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were killed in the demonstrations. Before going into hiding because of the deaths he said the film was "to showcase  his views as a hateful religion,"

 This article is important because it shows cinema and other media's affect on the world. Their can be many things to come because of this film all leading to hateful nature.

 As a future filmmaker its good to know what a film could cause and how it can be used for good or evil.

 The question that rises in my mind is what will become of this film, and will Sam Bacile be held accountable for any more tragedies to over this hateful film?
