Material Success
Genre: Documentary
Director: Jesse Mann
Stars: Bruno Ierullo, Susana Benavides
Rating: 4/5 ★★★★
Bruno Ierullo is no typical fashion designer — and he’s the first to let you know it. Material Success follows the loud and eccentric Bruno as he prepares his 300-plus garment collection for his first-ever fashion show. He’s got one month to pull it all together — the clothing, the models, the music, etc. — and for Bruno, who invested his life savings into his collection, it’s make it or break it. Much like its leading man, the film is fast-paced and frenetic. Brilliantly edited by first- time feature director and editor Jesse Mann, this film will keep audiences in suspense.
