The Emergence of the Dating App in the World:
In the world of Hollywood, a new film is set to captivate audiences everywhere. "Swiped," a compelling drama directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg, tells the true story of the founding of two revolutionary dating apps, Tinder and Bumble.
At the heart of the story is Whitney Wolfe Herd, a trailblazer in the tech industry who made headlines with her lawsuit against Tinder in 2014. After leaving the company amidst controversy, Whitney found herself at the forefront of a new endeavour: the creation of Bumble.
British actress Lily James, inspired by Whitney's story, takes on the role of Whitney in the film. James, who has never tried online dating, tested a friend's dating app in preparation for her role.
The Executive Producer of "Swiped" is Gala Gordon, and the production team was mainly female, reflecting the empowering nature of the story.
Whitney's journey in "Swiped" is not without its challenges. She faces open sexism, bullying, and abuse of power in the tech industry, experiences that are portrayed with authenticity and honesty.
Despite the hardships, Whitney perseveres, leaving Tinder, suing the company, and eventually founding Bumble. Her success story, while filled with Hollywood clichés, is sure to leave viewers feeling inspired and uplifted.
Interestingly, Russian investor Andrey Andreev supports Whitney in founding Bumble in the film. However, it's worth noting that Whitney herself did not participate in the making of "Swiped."
"Swiped" is set to premiere on Disney+ from September 19. With its genuine and interesting story, entertaining and amusing narrative, and a portrayal of a real-life success story, it's a film that deserves to be told.
