99 The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film

Okay, picture this: it's 2011. Remember Occupy Wall Street? Yeah, that whole thing. But imagine turning that into a MOVIE! Not just any movie, but a collaborative, crowd-sourced, totally bonkers film called 99.

Think of it like a cinematic potluck. Everyone brought their own ingredients (short films, footage, animations) and threw them into one giant, simmering film stew. Sounds messy? Maybe a little. But also, kinda awesome!

So, what's the big deal about 99?

Well, for starters, it's probably the most democratic movie ever made. Seriously! It’s like if a thousand directors all decided to make their version of "Avengers" using only their smartphones and leftover craft supplies.

Instead of having one director calling all the shots, you had a bunch of people adding their voices. Imagine Quentin Tarantino, your grandma, and a bunch of college students all directing the same scene. Wild, right?

That’s the chaotic beauty of 99! It's like watching a documentary directed by the internet. Prepare yourself for the unexpected.

What does it even look like?

It's…well, it's a kaleidoscope of styles. You've got gritty protest footage, slick animations, personal stories, and probably a few interpretive dance sequences thrown in for good measure.

Trying to describe it is like trying to describe the taste of Skittles to someone who's only ever eaten broccoli. Good luck!

It definitely captures the energy and spirit of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Think angry chanting, homemade signs, and a general sense that something needed to change. But with a healthy dose of artistic flair.

Why should you even bother watching?

Because it's different! In a world of cookie-cutter blockbusters and predictable rom-coms, 99 is a refreshing blast of weirdness.

It's a reminder that filmmaking can be for everyone. You don't need a Hollywood budget or a famous actor. You just need a story to tell (and maybe a camera, although a potato might work in a pinch).

It's a fascinating experiment in collaborative storytelling. And also, you can say you’ve seen a movie directed by approximately one million people.

More than just a film...

99 is a snapshot of a moment in time. It's a time capsule of a movement that challenged the status quo. You get to see history unfold through the eyes of the people who were actually there.

It's a conversation starter. You won't necessarily agree with everything you see in the film. And that’s totally okay! The point is to think, to question, and maybe even to get a little bit fired up.

It's a testament to the power of collective creativity. People coming together can do some pretty amazing things. A whole lot of different ideas can become something bigger, more powerful and certainly more interesting.

So, go forth and experience the cinematic anarchy that is 99. You might hate it. You might love it. But you definitely won’t be bored!

Just be prepared for anything. Seriously, anything.
