Apparently, George Clooney doesn’t think enough issue-oriented films are being made. So, he’s promoting a competition called “Film Your Issue” for budding filmmakers aged 18-26.

If the “VIP judges” of this competition are any indication—they include outspoken liberal Clooney himself, a Democratic senator, the Democratic mayor of Los Angeles, a relic newsman who finally admitted his own liberal bias years after retiring, two current TV newsreaders, and a handful of other journalists and “social activists”—one can assume that the Film Your Issue competition is looking for issue-oriented films from a certain perspective. No surprise there.

But it might be kind of fun if the judges themselves were surprised by receiving films that did something other than reinforce their pre-existing worldviews. So, while I am too over-the-hill to submit any of my own work, I’m hoping there are some aspiring young filmmakers who might be inspired to enter.

Prove that leftists aren’t the only ones who can master the medium!
