ELEMENTS OF MADNESS: Tyson Wade Johnston’s drama “Streamline” succeeds in capturing the haunting fear of failure.
February 18, 2022
"Sometimes while watching movies we get that vague feeling of deja vu, and sometimes that feeling is almost welcomed. In Tyson Wade Johnston’s first full length feature, Streamline, the audiences are going to be hit with this sense of familiarity. Streamline has the same intensity, uncomfortableness, and brilliant performances as Damian Chazelle’s Whiplash. There is something deeply haunting about a minor doing everything in their power to overcome the odds and accomplish their dreams or realize that no matter what they do their past is always going to haunt them. Streamline brings forth this uncomfortable feeling, this sense of pride, and this deep fear of failing what expectations are brought onto you."
