the night before before cast list announcement day anticipation really is unmatched.

i forgot to mention how EXQUISITE the light is in this film like wowowowowowowowowowow. in awe. and again the production design, the costuming, the song selection of existing music to include with the original music is so inspired and well chosen. very fun needle drops abound. 

the performances are even more nuanced and layered upon second viewing when context revealed later in the film becomes knowledge held from the outset of the events of the film, the hindsight elevating even more already stellar somatically embodied performances. so rewatchable. if all of the sundance virtual screenings for this film weren’t already sold out i would buy another 5-hour viewing window to watch this again two more times i really love theater camp (2023) that much. can’t wait to own my own physical copy of this movie one day.
