Zola Trailer Finally Teases A24’s Wild Floridian Ride

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Turning a 148-tweet Twitter thread about sex work, murder and Florida into a movie is no small feat. But due to the tenacious, combined forces of Slave Play playwright Jeremy O. Harris, writer/director Janzica Bravo and A24, Zola and its accompanying trailer are finally here after wowing critics at 2020’s Sundance. Our critic wrote at the time that the film was “a riotous, delicious, hilarious, and at times nauseating road trip movie through the south.”
Zola is based on the experiences of former Detroit waitress A’Ziah “Zola” Wells who, in 2015, tweeted about her journey through multiple Floridian clubs with a stripper named Jessica, Jessica’s boyfriend and her violent pimp.
