I was able to screen the film before it was released nationwide thanks to a friend of mine, the movie was truly beautiful from the cinematography to the acting. One concept that I loved was how the filmmaking process was democratized: everyone made the same amount of money, majority of the actors were actual inmates, and it showed that you don’t have to go through all these hoops to become a true thespian. It emphasized craft over anything else. Wonderful movie and wonderful piece.

Really loved this piece. Thank you for sharing your experience with the film…it has helped me create a container for my own experience.
Will have more to say, but it was a joy to interact with your writing.
