Why do African Americans eat Pigs Feet?
It's not a native delicacy. It's also not part of their culture because they ate regular pig meat just like everyone else when they were all in Africa. So, what happened in the early 20th Century to make their entire culture decide "Let's start going out of our way to eat the worst meat possibly found on the pig"?
How do other countries watch american films?
I was watching some things about project x on youtube and people that spoke different langueges were talking about it too. So do they just watch the movies in subtitles, or do they dub the entire thing?
Why do soldiers ask for money or iTunes cards?
Soldiers shouldn’t be asking for money. Strictly speaking, soldiers are not allowed to receive gifts in excess of $20.They have enough money on their own. Military members have a steady paycheck. It may not be extravagant, but they have housing, insurance, healthcare, and food (for the most part) paid for. If they want a few songs, they can darn well fork up the cash themselves.What it sounds like is yet another scam of a “deployed soldier asking for a gift card for [x reason that doesn’t actually make sense].” Like “I need it to maintain my internet,” or some such nonsense, or like a standard “Leave Form” scam.Soldiers do not ask for money or iTunes cards, except for gifts from their family and friends at birthdays and Christmas, like regular, ordinary people do.Now, low life good for nothing worthless scum will try to scam you to get them gift-cards. The sort of people who need to go find a tree to apologize to for wasting the oxygen that tree tried so hard to produce will lie to unsuspecting people saying things like, “I am a US Soldier deployed in Iraq/Afghanistan and I need an iTunes gift card or my internet will be cut off and we cannot meet if you do not send me this gift card.” How in the world would they use an iTunes gift card, via the internet, if they can’t access their bank account… via that very same internet? They will often get quite mouthy and assertive if you express skepticism. They are not worth your time. They are not worth anyone’s time. They are worthless, sorry individuals who the world would be better off without.If you’re going to ask me in comments: “Is this individual a fake? Can you tell me if they are a real soldier?”Yes. If you’re asking, the answer is almost certainly a yes. Are they asking for money? Yes, they’re a fake. Are they asking for you to pay for their leave? Yes, they’re a fake. Are they asking you, random person they met on the internet, to email their CO to ask for leave? Yes, obviously, no one in the military needs the assistance of a random person online to help them take vacation days. Do you need the help of a random soldier to take your vacation days at work? No? So why would they need your help?
Diversity in Disney films?
With Tiana and Sophia (if she's still technically Latina), and less recently Mulan (which was always my favourite Disney film) the racial diversity is present in the Disney lineup, but I'm assuming probably because it's cheaper than the legal fees if they didn't. My question is, will Gender diversity ever enter the equation? I know Mulan dressed like a man, but I'm talking different purposes here... will there ever be a trans/gay Disney prince/princess? At least a princess who isn't in pink for half the frames. That'd be nice too. I heard rumours that a high-up Disney exec demanded scenes that depicted clearly gay characters to be created more ambiguous on a joint project a few years ago...
How does one raise funds for a documentary film?
You could look at funding from a variety of different sources: grants, private investors, crowdfunding, venture capital groups, bankrolling it yourself; it's really up to you and depends on the scope of your production.Here are some options:Private Equity and Venture Capital - Film Financing GroupMusic, Film & Media Venture CapitalVenture Capital AdvisorsAvailable Film Grants - From the HeartA Massive List of Upcoming Grants All Filmmakers Should Know AboutWhere can I find grants for film or videomakers?(do your own due diligence)If you go out for a grant, there may be specific guidelines for writing an application. This may vary from entity to entity. Some VC groups may want to see specific docs, too, like a budget or proposal.Outside of that, you'd approach it the same as you would with a feature or short: treatment, logline, budget and pitch.
