She based her version on her own film set experience and The Film Crew shows every crew member on a film set, all played by La Joie. The video went viral, prompting La Joie to make more.[4] Cinemanía wrote that they hope La Joie's videos help her career and bring more attention to women working on and off camera in the film industry.[11] John Plunkett at The Poke said her "one-woman depiction of a film crew is simply brilliant."[10] Her videos[4][12][13] were included in Make it Work, a women in film special that aired on The CW,[14] and were listed on Ad Age's "The Top 5 Creative Brand Ideas You Need to Know About Right Now: August 7, 2020."[15] On September 3, 2020, La Joie was featured in a social distance toast for a Women in Film Cincinnati virtual event.[16]
