PHOTOBOOTHS IN MOVIES & TV

Medicine for Melancholy

Barry Jenkins (U.S., 2008, 88 min.)

Barry Jenkins' feature debut, shot on a micro-budget of less than $15,000, features two photobooth moments. First, when perusing Micah's MySpace photos, Jo' (Tracey Heggins) sees an image of a black and white strip of Micah (Wyatt Cenac) and his ex, torn in half, with the words "i want my fuckin' heart sewn back together" laid over it. Later, taking a break from dancing, they take a strip together in the Knockout's color photobooth. Thanks to Simon for the tip, sorry it took me so long to get to it.
