‘Dumb Money’ director Craig Gillespie talks GameStop, memes and music – National | 24CA News
What do GameStop, Pete Davidson and WAP have in frequent? That can be Craig Gillespie‘s new movie Dumb Money.
Gillespie’s newest movie sees Paul Dano and Seth Rogen battle it out over GameStop inventory in a story impressed by the real-life tug-of-war between unbiased retail buyers on Reddit and giants on Wall Street.
When hedge fund managers like Gabe Plotkin (Rogen) guess billions in opposition to the corporate’s brick-and-mortar business, Keith Gill (Dano) wages a warfare that sees shares surge.
But Gillespie’s Dumb Money is something however dumb — and its sharp humour is assured to get fun out of even essentially the most financially illiterate. Through titan performing performances, memes and a killer soundtrack, Dumb Money takes audiences on a laugh-out-loud humorous, bittersweet journey of rags to riches.
Global News’ Sarah Do Couto sat down with the director on the Toronto International Film Festival to speak about popular culture, the web and the way common folks can create actual, tangible change.
