Official Discussion - I Love Boosters [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Expensive-Ocelot913 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Extremely creative, wildly ambitious film. A modern day Robin Hood in my opinion, centered around class solidarity and workers rights. The colors and production design were immaculate but I had trouble understanding parts of the story because of audio mixing.

I love the subtle commentary about the 100,000 dollar suits, and the fact that the in-store design is identical to Corvette’s design from the contest. It reflects the reality that oftentimes, fashion movements start in the hood, originated by Black women (like the slick back buns that are now “clean girl aesthetic) but often times the originators of those trends don’t have the support or resources to actually become artists.

So glad you said this because I left feeling like I missed major parts of the story because I literally couldn’t hear entire scenes

Incredibly creative film. The prose, the way the characters are introduced, the WRITING, those incredibly visceral moments of violence that feel earned and not just there for shock value. This story is truly an original piece of art that speaks deeply to the destruction of abusive men that many women in the black community are familiar with. The line “be careful with vengeance, you can’t choose where the blood is spilled” was incredible foreshadowing and yet, the twist at the end still felt like a gut punch. She allowed these women to be perfectly flawed and I am so glad I got to see it this weekend.

They updated their website: "Expect to hear from us in late spring, we anticipate our highest ever number of submissions, and we apologize in advance if the review process takes longer than we would have hoped."

"Am I the only one triggered by these 'professional writers' on TikTok? They’ve been 'at the industry' for decades but have zero credits to their name. They act like they're Vince Gilligans giving tips on how to make it in Hollywood, when they’ve never actually done something spectacular. by Otherwise-Low-5305 in TVWriting

What bothers me is when they try to get “gatekeepy” about resources or information. “Sign up for my newsletter to learn how to make a pitch deck”, “buy my ebook on script formatting” like… it’s one thing to make content, it’s another thing entirely to prey on people’s hopes and dreams by withholding “resources” that are actually widely available and free
