8/10
Very entertaining slice of life

Drowning in Potential is a 2021 film by Canadian-American filmmaker Joel Haver, starring his friend 'Dax Flame'. The film is about two actors whose names I cannot remember who are trying to make it in Hollywood. The film, like nearly everything by Joel, is slice of life and very down to earth.

Doubtless based on real experiences from Joel's life, Drowning in Potential can at times be dry and difficult to watch. However, its most entertaining moments can be very funny, heartfelt, and memorable. One of my favorite scenes is when they're with the acting coach who just gets physical with them. Jack's character lives in a white van which is a little comical, but as someone who has lived that way in the past it is relatable.

In CONCLUSION, this film is a wonderful work of art that captures how it feels to try to make it in LA. Even though I've never been to LA, this film made me feel like I was really there. Please check it out at your earliest convenience.
