I'm \[21F\] just beginning a career in film which I've wanted for a very long time. I aspire to be a film director.

A neighbor of ours, retired old film producer, is not quite friends with but certainly friendly acquaintances with Roman Polanski. He said he might be able to organize a meeting for me.

If you had asked me a year ago, I would have thought this horrible and morally corrupt. I mean, google Roman Polanski if you're unfamiliar with his charges. I've experienced a strange number of cases, growing up, of older men I trusted abusing their power with me (to various degrees of severity).

So much so, though, that in the past few months I've decided that I'd want to make a film about this.

And it's making me think, if a horrible person can help me get to a place where I'm "powerful" enough to tell an important story and affect the world in a positive way, is it not worth it?

I don't want to rationalize my way into a corrupt decision, but my thoughts are:

1. People meet with awful criminals all the time, without this meaning that they agree with their views or behaviour. Meeting someone does not mean you respect them, and things can be learned even from the worst war criminals.
2. I've thought about this analogy: a liberal young woman who dreams of becoming a politician so that she has the greatest chance of reaching a large number of people and affecting change on a large scale, somehow gets the opportunity to reach someone who might help her get there. Except, to do this, she must meet with Donald Trump and possibly get him to like her. Would we back this decision? I feel that I would.

Help me make the right choice!
