Supercool

Supercool has all the appealing rowdiness of a memorable sex comedy and the intensity of a cool indie thriller. But there's a lot more going on here than plot alone. Gabriel Black raises the bar for DIY filmmakers. His work is professional, stylistic and inventive. He rewards the viewer's desire to see something familiar and at the same time shows us something new. Here's proof that budget and marketing aren't factors we should be juding when we watch movies. What we should judge is the craft and the experiences we have while watching. And Gabriel Black certainly a filmmaker to watch. I encourage you to seek out his work and support similarly dedicated independent artists.

So many low-budget movies try REALLY HARD to "look like a big budget movie". Thankfully, this film does its own thing entirely!

GREAT LOCATIONS!!!

REALLY FUN stuff with the dialogue being highlighted on screen!!! (and it's GREAT dialogue!!!). I felt like I was back watching the OG Independent Film Channel in the late 90's, which is a feeling I sorely miss!

This movie is as good or better than most comedies made for literally HUNDREDS (thousands???) of times the budget.

I was reminded of Spike Lee's very early work!

I'd LOVE to see what this Director could do with MILLIONS of dollars!!!

If you're looking for a SUPER INDIE, FUN teenage comedy that's unlike any of the boring, redundant "studio crap"- check out this movie!!!

I'm in my twenties and I understood most of the street slang. The words on the screen a la Scott pilgrim vs the world went by a little fast but I didn't need them. The movie is a little dirty so leave mom and grandma out of it. Lol.

I enjoyed this film alot! A Wonderful work that keeps you at the edge of your seat. I thought it was very funny even though its a Thriller. The story stays on point and you get a view of todays Teens lives which I appreciated. I also thought it was very funny for a modern day comedy. Though is a great film for teens it might seem its also fun for adults especially if you're an adult who wants to brush up on recent teen slang and understand your kids lol! I also thought the acting was very well executed and the scenery, Definitely will recommend this film to my son and his friends. Great work and will watch again for sure.

Supercool tells the story of a awkward young man looking to connect with his dream girl. His attempts to be cool and gain her attention is a story most people can relate to. The film has some ingenious elements, like highlighting certain words, which looks like a fun education in slang. Throw in some gangsters, a charismatic, advice-giving best friend, and some over-the-top supporting characters, and you have a wild joyride. Having the role of writer, director and cinematographer in any film is difficult, but Gabriel Black showcases a unique voice and brings a vibrant vision to the screen. The film captures some great scenery and the lead character seems like someone to cheer for. This is a film that has it's own niche. Some of the themes may be too adult for some younger viewers, but fans of films like American Pie, Superbad, or Friday should enjoy the film.
