Perfect Day
Jolie Simone - in Perfect Day; Oona Mozelle and Jolie Simone; screen grab; 11/26
Time out to plug for a short film, ‘Perfect Day’ is a film confection by my daughter, Oona Mozelle, and her partner in crime, Jolie Simone. Two young creatives in New York with a zero budget effort who carve out a long day to tell a visual story in three minutes or less. YouTube link: https://youtu.be/qJLgNjA_B34?si=yi3nj-mArNkHDmUG
And although the handling is light and airy, the story includes the complicated plight of many women who are just trying to enjoy themselves in public. Worth rewatching to see if you can spot where the trouble begins.
Places that offered themselves as shooting locations which are worth local support if you live in Brooklyn include Pollys Cafe and Hee Space Thrift, two community treasures of Flatbush.
