Maya Cozier : 2020
Sparkle is a naïve 17-year-old girl seeking community and excitement when she stumbles upon a free-spirited dance crew who invite her to their next audition. Welcomed into the sisterhood despite her lack of street smarts, she soon meets Skinny, a rapper who's immediately taken with Sparkle's wide-eyed innocence. Navigating this thrilling yet sinister new world that revolves around nightlife and cash, Sparkle finds her fate in the hands of those with power in this seemingly postcard-perfect setting, with misogyny brewing beneath the surface. An authentic and reverent exploration of female friendship, sexism, and the ways in which music and dance shape communities in the Caribbean. Maya Cozier's feature debut premiered in competition at Tribeca Film Festival 2020.
