Antidote for the Wicked World We Live In: “Director Margo Stutts Toombs has made several music videos, she’s won many awards, and she’s made several types of films. She never sticks to one genre. Most people that like modern music will enjoy this film a lot—people who enjoy rap will enjoy this. And her camera work is amazing, she uses a lot of striking angles that come together to make this a standout piece.”
