Janis Joplin
Janis Joplin and other rock and roll icons are just a few of the 27 Club's many honorees. The 27 Club recognizes not only artists who are famous for their music but also those who have died from alcoholism or drug abuse. The artist's lives were filled by struggle, pain, addiction, and struggle that got worse with their rise in fame. Jean-Michel Basquiat is one such artist who succumbed to a speedball shot.
Janis Joplin is well-known for her bluesy vocals. She was born in Texas, and won the hearts of San Francisco music fans with her powerful voice. She was an artist who also formed Big Brother and the Holding Company. Joplin's addiction, to heroin and alcohol, led to her tragic passing in 1970 despite several attempts to stop using drugs. Joplin is, in fact, one of rock's most loved icons.
Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse was bound for failure, if her fate is any indication. Her career fell apart when she got addicted to drugs. Blake, Blake's boyfriend, was the one who ruined her music career, leaving her without enough money to live on. Blake, her boyfriend took control of her music career and left her struggling to pay the bills. As a result, her stage shows became unusual, leading her fans to believe she was bipolar. Her manager offered to help her with psychological issues and encouraged her to stop drinking.
Despite all the myths that surround her death, it is clear that Amy Winehouse was just twenty-seven when she was found dead at her home. Her death mirrors the tragic trend of 27 year-old musicians who have died. Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin are just a few of the others. The 27 Club was created after these terrible deaths. It honors four influential rock musicians who all passed away prematurely.
Kurt Cobain
The "27 Club", an influential group composed of musicians who died in their twenties, is known for its influence. Many of these musicians are regarded as icons in their own time, and were pioneers in their respective genres. Unfortunately, many of these musicians have died tragically. Some of these musicians committed suicide while others died from alcohol and drug abuse. Kurt Cobain, who played grunge music with his raspy rebel yell, was hailed the voice Generation X.
After his death, his mother spoke to a local newspaper, saying that he should not have joined such a stupid club. Many people interpreted this to mean that he was referring to the 27 Club. However, many believed his mother meant to refer to the band. Sounes believes it is more common for fans to understand the meanings of death when they are aware that a musician is deceased than to accept one's own mortality.

Why isn't there more crowdfunding sites such as Indiegogo and Kickstarter for filmmakers?
Crowdfunding sites are great because they allow you to reach out directly to potential investors.
But most filmmakers don't think they're qualified to ask for money. They feel they need someone else who can vouch for them.
Because they are still in their infancy, they do not believe that anyone should invest.
Instead, they spend months focusing on their project and hoping that someone will notice.
Then, once they finally launch their campaign, they realize they didn't prepare properly.
So instead of getting thousands of dollars, they end up with just a handful of donations.

Is Hollywood greater than Bollywood
Producing a movie that is well-received by the public is the biggest challenge for film producers.
The problem is that there are many movies competing for people's time and money. It's hard to stand out among the rest and get noticed.
But what makes a movie popular? What makes an actor well-known? Or a director? It's not only talent, but also luck. The best actors may be the best, but they will not succeed if they are writing bad scripts.
There are two types of films: independent productions and blockbuster movies with big budgets. Blockbuster movies cost hundreds of millions of dollars to produce and distribute. They're usually made by huge studios who want to ensure their movies reach as wide an audience as possible. But these big-budget films tend to appeal mainly to older audiences.
Independent films, which are typically smaller-scale productions, can be financed either by individual investors or groups. These films usually target specific markets and appeal to specific tastes. These films are usually easier to market and produce. They aren't always more affordable to watch, however. It is actually very difficult to find most indie movies.
The question is whether we need both types. Is it necessary to have both blockbuster and independent movies? Well, I think that Hollywood is actually bigger than Bollywood. Hollywood produces twice as many movies per annum than India.
What is the difference between an Indie Film and a Foreign Language Film?
Independent films are usually made by one filmmaker who makes all of the decisions.
However, foreign language films are typically produced by a larger production group.
They often hire actors, authors, and directors who are from other countries.
So that the dialogue sounds natural, they also employ professional translators.
