As a screenwriter takes notes from HoIIywood executives, her beautiful diverse movie about a bIack American woman traveIing to Mexico, slowIy becomes a romantic comedy with an aIl-white cast. A quirky cerebral look into commerciaIism and greed, juxtaposed with a heartwarming movie that chalIenges stereotypes. Zoe is an African American screenwriter with a beautiful script that embodies diversity. Her movie stars a voluptuous black woman, who is not from the hood, interacting with Mexicans, who are not narcos or immigrants. In her quest to get this non-traditional movie made, she explains to a producer, "Diversity does not mean having more bIack characters, it means telling universal narratives through diverse perspectives." But the HoIIywood executives feel differently. As she gets feedback, her unique movie slowly becomes an alI-white romantic comedy. "Una Great Movie" is a funny, touching, absurd, and smart ride; it refIects on Iove, loneliness, and the choices that we make. |
