Hola Dannie aqui,
A trailer came in for a film called "MDMA" that looks very interesting. The SHOUT FACTORY describes the film as-
"Inspired by true events… It’s 1984, and a gorgeous, young working-class woman, Angie Wang (Annie Q.) from Newark, NJ, is about to start her freshman year at a prestigious San Francisco university. On her first day, she meets her new roommate, a rich girl named Jeanine Rockwell (Francesca Eastwood), and the two bond over booze, boys, and their first taste of freedom! Raised by her strict father in an urban neighborhood, the sudden jolt from hardship to privileged campus life proves to be a challenge for Angie. When her financial aid is cut, she uses her book and street smarts, along with school resources to synthesize the growing popular drug, Ecstasy. Angie becomes one of the west coast’s largest distributors of ‘X,” cutting deals on campus and in posh nightclubs. Her dual life as the Asian ‘model minority’ coed and the profit-driven drug dealer is further complicated by her desire to help Bree (Aalyrah Caldwell), a girl from one of the bay area’s most infamous ghettos who reminds her of her own dark past. Angie lives the high life until her recklessness instigates a sudden tragedy from which she may not recover."
Heres the trailer let us know if it leaves you in ecstasy!
"MDMA" toured the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, San Diego Asian Film Festival, and CAAMFest last year to the applause of many. The film has yet to announce current or future distributions whether theatrically or digital. I loved the show "Breaking Bad," and this film gives me a higher interest as it is based on a true story and also I can see how morally easy it could be for a chemist to decide to make a drug that "makes people feel good" for quick cash. I myself do not delve into experimental amphetamine based love drugs, so I have no personal perspective on the stimulant. How do all of you out there in Geeklandia feel about the films trailer and subject matter?
Stay Strong, Live Good, Love Movies!
