Saturday Church (2017)
Ball scene love story
Beautifully filmed, beautifully tracked, and beautifully cast. Anyone who has any major critiques of this film seems to be homophobic and transphobic. Praying that love enters their hearts!
Betty (2020)
Ethnographic take on women skateboarders
I watched Skate Kitchen when it first came out and what I have to say about it is what I have to say about it's television spin-off: the acting is horrible but it's beautifully shot and a pretty sick accompanying soundtrack. Hands down visually stunning.
Since the main actors are from an actual all-women skating crew from NYC, it makes sense they're not the greatest at acting -- although I'm sure their acting will improve with time. At first it was a bit grating (while watching Skate Kitchen), but once I shifted my perspective to see it as more of an ethnographic film/show capturing a very specific moment and subculture, I fell in love.
