Right now, with all going on in the world we need an escape, and entertainment does that for us. Seeing all of the trailers, still, movies and television shows – it allows us to not think of the dumpster fires that are everywhere these days. Instead, we’re getting more and more of the things that we are looking forward to or are perplexed by.
The first still from the new film Slanted, starring McKenna Grace and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan has been released.
Slanted, which will premiere at SXSW, is about, “a senior in high school, Joan Huang idolizes winning Prom Queen as the embodiment of popularity, beauty and the ultimate form of acceptance into American life. In her relentless pursuit for the crown, she undergoes an experimental racial transformation to become White and win Prom Queen. However, what she thought was a dream come true soon reveals itself to be an emotional and physical nightmare. Slanted offers a searing and unapologetically satirical view on race and the uncomfortable journey of learning to love yourself and your culture.”
Honestly this sounds like a movie that we all need to watch.
In addition to McKenna Grace and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Slanted also stars, Shirley Chen, Vivian Wu, Amelie Zilber, Fang Du, Elaine Hendrix, and Keith Harris.
