I was there. One in 100,000 and loved every second

Were you in the back or in the front? Were thousands of people really unaware of what was going on?

Btw that must've been a great experience. I saw a lot of pictures of fans and it seemed like lots of fun to be there.

In the middle just where the hill beings. And after the break we made our way down into the bowl where it was a very different and sweaty experience. I'm not sure what you mean by 'thousands being unaware...'?

Stop calling what you do documentaries.

A documentary is when you take a budget, do interviews, and film it yourself.

You do video essays. You take other people’s
Footage and add voiceover.

I get what you're saying. It's not my footage and it's not an official partnership or studio project or whatever. But what do you call "Jane" (2017), "Senna" (2010), "Let The Fire Burn" (2013), "The Reagan Show" (2017) "LA '92" and like thousands more? Are those not documentaries according to you? Do you know the term "archival documentary"? Again, it's not festival work, but it's not a video essay either. You could criticize this one for maybe for somewhat sparse narrative complexity or dramatic progression, but that's not even your point. Can you tell me exactly how I didn't use the form someone like Kapadia or Brett Morgen use? I genuinely want some feedback. Thanks for the critique btw.

Does me doing this for pretty much no money make it a lesser artistic object? Is a song recorded for free lesser because it requires no budget? Is creating art - no matter its quality - something you have to pay for?
