We Are Pat (2025): Reclaiming a Controversial 90s Icon
Can a piece of bad representation truly be reclaimed? We Are Pat (2025) attempts to answer this question.
Youtopia (2022)
Los Angeles, 2019. Times are shitty, and they’re about to get worse. When Scout Durwood’s girlfriend dumps her unexpectedly, Scout takes stock in her life and determines that from now on, if something doesn’t feel one hundred percent authentic to her, she’s not doing it! Following the devastating break up, Scout inadvertently becomes the leader of a hipster millennial cult that engages with the multiverse and of course, aliens. But when members of the cult start to disappear, she soon discovers that her journey of self-discovery could trigger the end of civilization as we know it and is forced to take on her biggest opponent yet: herself.

It postulates how the promise of success and fulfillment as promoted by the American Dream more often than not leads to the undoing of the individual.
