The way Boots Riley has pushed Boosters on social media has only turned him into more of a household name than before! People aren’t just discovering his movie they’re also discovering HIM! The same way ppl discovered Spike when he was on the front lines pushing his early movies.
Is God Is is a stronger directorial debut than Obsession. Obsession is just more palatable for white ppl and the director has a larger built in fan base. Both movies are worth seeing tho!
I Love Boosters is seriously the perfect film in my opinion. Just a genuine good time to enjoy yourself. Bring your mother, bring your father, bring your son or daughter, hell bring your damn dog. Even better on a second watch, can I rate it more than 5 stars Letterboxd???
I Love Boosters is a more important film than Obsession. But an anti capitalist satire WILL NEVER GET THE INDUSTRY AND MAINSTREAM SUPPORT than a non political low budget WHITE horror movie. If we wanna see Boosters succeed then THE PPL MUST MAKE THAT HAPPEN! NOT WHITE HOLLYWOOD
Director Aleshea Harris explains how she adapted her award-winning play ‘IS GOD IS’ into a film.
“With the camera, there are so many things you can do that you can’t do on the stage. There’s a level of intimacy you can have with a character... so, I used that to my advantage.”
