"Fame is a gun without the safety catch, once you lose control the wounds become eternal. Our double bill of ‘Sunset Boulevard’ and ‘Pearl’ also highlights the timeless issue in Hollywood old or new that women are being sold a dream and then descending into madness due to the toxicity of beauty standards and their replaceability with younger talent." - Annalise, Young Programmer
