For Your Consideration

Few friends. Idea of a film. Talks, suggestions, domination, a bizarre script and supperficiality in high levels. A faithful and no mercy portrait of near reality , agirls talk, cliches and sterotypes. Result - something nice at the first sigh, provocative in essence.

This is a film that's not afraid to cut to the chase and expose the incredible lack of wokeness underlying woke culture. Should be mandatory watching in high-schools. Sharp critique is what we need. For your consideration manages to pack razor sharp humor into a candy colored wrapper without losing its edge.

This film is a harrowing delight tailor-made for anyone who's ever had to sit in on a problematic development meeting!

Greetings again from the darkness. I can't recall being as recently thankful for a good laugh as I was after watching this expert 13 minute satire from writer-director Poppy Gordon and co-writer Aldo Arias. The dialogue is sharp, the performances spot on, and the topic couldn't be more relevant to the moment.

Heather (Samantha Robinson) is enjoying her daily yoga in the backyard of her Beverly Hills mansion when she arranges a meeting with her two friends, Stacia (Juliette Goglia) and Christa (Ava Capri). The purpose of their meeting, held at a private club, is to create the perfect Oscar-caliber movie using the "Sundance formula" - a message movie addressing contemporary issues.

Of course, the best intentions of these three white privileged women is nothing short of cringe-inducing and hilarious. They are simply clueless on how their lot in life skews their perspective, and they clearly are in this for the recognition, rather than to make a difference. Director Gordon divides the film into three Phases (Concepting, Focus Groups, Pre-Production) mirroring the movie development process. During the Focus Group phase, there is a TANGERINE reference, a welcome shout-out to Sean Baker's 2015 film shot with an iPhone.

Satire is not an easy form of comedy, as it requires terrific writing on 'touchy' subjects, and a full buy-in from performers. This little film wraps it all into a tight package that makes its point, while delivering laughs.
