HBO Max: The Best Movies and TV Shows for Diversity
Whether you like cinema classics, sketch comedy, or science fiction, HBO Max has something for you! Check out our top picks for diversity and representation.
We're Not in Essex Anymore
'We're Not in Essex Anymore' is a journey film, following the classic story of the Wizard of Oz in order to highlight this experience of travelling from the Suburbs of London into the City. Exploring themes of female friendship, suburbia and escapism, the aim is to celebrate these relationships and experiences as well as romanticising the idea of “the city”, as the emerald city is in the Wizard of Oz. Using paper cut out and 3D collage to animate stop motion backgrounds, this is then combined with live action characters, the aim of this technique being to create an abstracted world based of the reality of the dreary suburban aesthetic combined with lively, illuminated cityscapes.
