Trustafarians
Whit Stillman has written a new screenplay about the upper class urban bourgeoisie. DAMSELS IN DISTRESS is being shot in Staten Island New York (the most working class borough in New York City) where these damsels would not step foot in. The filmmaker of METROPOLITAN, BARCELONA, and THE LAST DAYS OF DISCO is once again bringing us the voice of preppies, urban bourgeoisie, angsting college age girls. His characters are the polar opposite of young people that come to Austin. While in the past I have always referred to this group as trust fund kids he nailed it for me when he described them as "trustafarians." I like that "trustafarians"....perfect!
