Mezcla Table Reads: Fresh Cut Flowers
Join Mezcla Media Collective on April 22nd at 6:00pm for a virtual table read of Fresh Cut Flowers, written by Imani Davis, and a project recipient of the inaugural Banner/Mezcla Film Microgrant and a semi-finalist of The Future of Film is Female's 2021 Production Grant.
"Set post-2008 financial crisis, Fresh Cut Flowers is a genre-bending heist short film featuring four women of color, all with unique skills and personalities that blend together as they plan their next (and final) heist. Dahlia, Poppy, Daisy, and Rose, have been heisting the homes of sleazy bankers ever since the Great Recession began. They grapple with the weight of the world as they face planning their final heist together. At the heart of it, Fresh Cut Flowers is a fun and exciting exploration of feminism, anti-capitalism, and just women being badass geniuses in a genre where we all-too-often see the same James Bond look-a-likes over and over again. Women (of color) can rob banks in a cool and sleek manner too."
