Rocking the Couch (2018)

Rocking the Couch: Directed by Minh Collins. With Lauren Anastasi-Peter, Ikon Barenbolm, Alana Crow, Jennifer Durst. Hollywood titans Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby have been brought to their knees by the #MeToo movement. The term “casting couch” has existed for decades in Hollywood, but in 1992, a case against talent agent Wallace Kaye was brought by 12 unknown actresses, who faced the loss of their careers, privacy, and Hollywood dreams. Against all odds, they won, and no one listened, until now.

“Finally, an honest yet cautionary tale about the origin of the dreaded u0026quot;Casting Couchu0026quot;. As a male in his twenties, hearing these abuse stories for the first time was utterly jaw-dropping. u0026#39;Rocking the Couchu0026#39; is a haven for these victims and early accusers to be heard despite being failed by their industry BEFORE a hashtag generation brought sexual misconduct in entertainment to the forefront. I had the privilege of working with the creators of this film and though it is flawed in some technical aspects, itsu0026#39; heart beats far louder than menial criticisms.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs Joel Fischer from BRWC accurately states, u0026quot;The film never sets out to demonize the abuser in an over-the top kind of way. letting the facts speak for themselves. For those willing to listen, the truth of their horrific ordeals may open some peopleu0026#39;s eyes to whatu0026#39;s really going on around them and maybe even help make a change.u0026quot;”
