Supercool

Supercool written, filmed, and edited by Gabriel Black is a fun and exciting teen comedy. This well written story comes to life by some really great actors.

There's never a dull moment in this fast paced thrilling story, that really keeps you on the edge of your seat.

I really enjoyed the words that would flash on the screen in a Scott Pilgrim manner. It really added to the emphasis of the scene, also really adding to the enjoyment of the film.

I really enjoyed the different filming locations that they chose. This is beautifully shot and edited.

I can't wait to see more work from this filmmaker.

Supercool is a very colorful, very foul-mouthed urban Miami comedy. The premise was fun and so were the actors. My only gripe is that they didn't take a little more time to develop a backstory for the characters but I guess you could see that as a positive because the story gets going right away and it doesn't let up until the end. If palm trees, turquoise waters, under age drinking, horny teens, adult language and a little nudity is your thing then this film might just be for you. Although this was done on a budget the flick was very entertaining. They did something really cool with the slang words. Kind of reminded me of 'Brick'. I liked it, but it might be a little too heavy for some.

Supercool tells the story of a awkward young man looking to connect with his dream girl. His attempts to be cool and gain her attention is a story most people can relate to. The film has some ingenious elements, like highlighting certain words, which looks like a fun education in slang. Throw in some gangsters, a charismatic, advice-giving best friend, and some over-the-top supporting characters, and you have a wild joyride. Having the role of writer, director and cinematographer in any film is difficult, but Gabriel Black showcases a unique voice and brings a vibrant vision to the screen. The film captures some great scenery and the lead character seems like someone to cheer for. This is a film that has it's own niche. Some of the themes may be too adult for some younger viewers, but fans of films like American Pie, Superbad, or Friday should enjoy the film.

I enjoyed this film alot! A Wonderful work that keeps you at the edge of your seat. I thought it was very funny even though its a Thriller. The story stays on point and you get a view of todays Teens lives which I appreciated. I also thought it was very funny for a modern day comedy. Though is a great film for teens it might seem its also fun for adults especially if you're an adult who wants to brush up on recent teen slang and understand your kids lol! I also thought the acting was very well executed and the scenery, Definitely will recommend this film to my son and his friends. Great work and will watch again for sure.

Supercool has all the appealing rowdiness of a memorable sex comedy and the intensity of a cool indie thriller. But there's a lot more going on here than plot alone. Gabriel Black raises the bar for DIY filmmakers. His work is professional, stylistic and inventive. He rewards the viewer's desire to see something familiar and at the same time shows us something new. Here's proof that budget and marketing aren't factors we should be juding when we watch movies. What we should judge is the craft and the experiences we have while watching. And Gabriel Black certainly a filmmaker to watch. I encourage you to seek out his work and support similarly dedicated independent artists.
