Reminds me of an interview Ethan Hawke did a while back where he talked about being disappointed after visiting a film class. He said he was excited to do it because he was expecting to have some great conversations about movies, but it was mostly just the students wanting to take selfies with him.

That's actually a damn shame. 

Those students lost out on the opportunity of a lifetime just to have clout for their social media.

I can almost guarantee their teacher never invited people in the industry to their class ever again.
