    Hi Letterboxd :) this is Nicole, Writer/Director of The Cab

    I made this film to help process some formidable encounters with suicide and depression and create a representation of my loved ones on screen that validated their experiences. With each passing day since making this film, it feels this experience is more universal and urgent than ever before. Movies are The Great Connectors and I am so grateful this film is now out in the world. If even just one…

    CRIMINALLY BACKLIT. DISTRACTINGLY POORLY LIT AND SHOT. LITERALLY TOOK AWAY FROM INCREDIBLE SETS INCREDIBLE COSTUMES INCREDIBLE CHOREOGRAPHY INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCES. ALL OF IT! HIDDEN BEHIND HORRIBLE LIGHTING AND LOW SATURATION. THEY MUDDIED THE GREEN OUT OF THE EMERALD CITY. THEY TOOK THE WARMTH FROM ALL OF THE FIRE AND SUN. THE CHILLS I GOT FROM THE DUET IN DEFYING GRAVITY WERE STOLEN WHEN THE 360 SHOT GOES OUT OF FOCUS. JUST WHEN I GOT THEM BACK THEY WERE ROBBED AGAIN BY ELPHABA BEING SO FLATLY LIT DESPITE FLYING IN A L I T E R A L SUNSET. CRIMINAL!!!
