Charlie's Prospect is a video fable set to an original music score for choir. Set in Lower Prospect, Nova Scotia, Charlie's Prospect is based on a true story in which a folk artist tries to preserve the way of life in his small fishing community by building a replica of the village on his front lawn. One day a wealthy young family drives by and wants to buy the entire model village. The artist is faced with a dilemma that is resolved later that night, as fantasy and reality merge.
Hustlers was meant to be a film about female empowerment. And it was, to a certain extent. I expected and wanted this to be a kickass and complex film of sexy women who use their confidence, skills, and wits towards a brilliant plan to get revenge on the Wall Street guys who wronged them.
The quiet ache of guilt sitting at the dinner table, the silence after a truth is buried, and the way pain is passed down like a name.
Lee Daniels’s Billie Holiday biopic The United States vs. Billie Holiday was released on February 26th, 2021, and my immediate reaction to it was one of discomfort.
"Hustlers" returns power to groups that are traditionally deprived of it: women, the working class, and sex workers.
This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.
