♦ STORYLINE:

“I Love Boosters” is a bold, surreal, socially conscious, and politically charged sci-fi crime comedy. The film follows a tight-knit crew of skilled shoplifters who survive by stealing high-end fashion from luxury department stores. Their world shifts when they target the ruthless CEO of an elite fashion empire, a move that ignites a chain reaction far bigger than a simple heist. What begins as a daring theft spirals into a full-blown uprising, exposing the absurdity, excess, and exploitation embedded in the fashion industry and corporate culture.

The film has a powerhouse ensemble (see below) and delivers humor, style, and sharp critique.
