Plot Synopsis

A Thousand and One‘s plot synopsis: “A love letter to mothers, sons, and hustlers of NYC.” A Thousand and One follows unapologetic & free-spirited Inez (Teyana Taylor), who kidnaps her 6-year-old son Terry from the foster care system. Holding onto their secret and each other, this mother & son set out to reclaim their sense of home, identity, and stability, in a rapidly changing New York City.”

Review

FilmBook writer Thomas Duffy reviewed A Thousand and One at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival and had this to say about the film:

A Thousand and One, the film’s title, represents the number of the apartment that Inez and Terry reside in. There are so many fine things about this picture from the brave acting to the unflinching honesty in the story line. While the ending doesn’t have the resolve I would have liked it to, it’s an undeniably powerful work full of rich detail that aptly captures the essence of characters living in New York City.

On Movie Trailers

“A trailer (also known as a preview or attraction video) is a commercial advertisement, originally for a feature film that is going to be exhibited in the future at a movie theater/cinema. It is a product of creative and technical work…Trailers consist of a series of selected shots from the film being advertised. Since the purpose of [this advertisement] is to attract an audience to the film, these excerpts are usually drawn from the most exciting, funny, or otherwise noteworthy parts of the film but in abbreviated form and usually without producing spoilers. For this purpose the scenes are not necessarily in the order in which they appear in the film. [This type of ad] has to achieve that in less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the maximum length allowed by the MPA. Each studio or distributor is allowed to exceed this time limit once a year, if they feel it is necessary for a particular film.”
