Watch: Everyone Plays a Part in Fun Animated Short 'Drawn Closer'

Drawn Closer Short Film

"The curtain only goes up when everyone has a part to play." It's showtime! Drawn Closer is an adorable animated short film made by the animation house Nexus Studios. It was made as an advertising project for Cox Communications, telling the story of a middle school drama department putting on a play - with some last minute changes. This story was "reimagined" as this animated short film after the pandemic cancelled Thurman White Middle School's play, but they got all the actual students involved to make this and it's just delightful. The short is written and directed by Oscar-winning animation filmmaker Patrick Osborne - of the acclaimed shorts Feast and Pearl previously, who is now working at Nexus Studios. This is just a feel-good bite-size ad, but it's the kind of feel-good filmmaking we always need more of these days. Watch below. ›››

Charlotte Rampling is a Feisty Grandmother in First Trailer for 'Juniper'

Juniper Trailer

"Most people like sunsets… I love the sunrise." Transmission Films has revealed the first trailer for an indie drama from New Zealand titled Juniper, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Matthew J. Saville. When a self-destructive teen is suspended from school and asked to look after his feisty alcoholic grandmother as a punishment, the crazy time they spend together turns his life around. George Ferrier stars as the boy who finds himself rethinking life when he encounters Ruth, his strong-willed grandmother and a former war photographer. Charlotte Rampling also stars, along with Marton Csokas and Edith Poor. This definitely looks like a feisty little film about the challenges of life, including how to deal with your own family. Rampling looks like she's at the top of her game here, a complex role with many layers. I'm surprised this hasn't shown up at any film festivals, it this seems like the perfect film for a festival audience. ›››

Official Trailer for Mysterious Icelandic Volcano Sci-Fi Series 'Katla'

Katla Trailer

"The sun comes up. The sun goes down. We're born, we die… Who am I to question the nature of things?" Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for an intriguing sci-fi series from Iceland titled Katla, co-created by Icelandic filmmaker Baltasar Kormákur (of The Deep, 2 Guns, Everest, The Oath, Adrift). One year after the violent eruption of the subglacial volcano Katla, the peace and tranquility in the small town of Vik is dramatically disturbed. Out of nowhere, people that disappeared a year ago are now re-appearing covered in ash, seemingly unharmed. How is this possible? Are they really the same people? Only the volcano knows… The cast includes Guðrún Ýr Eyfjörð , Íris Tanja Flygenring, Ingvar Sigurdsson, Aliette Opheim, Þorsteinn Bachmann, Sólveig Arnarsdóttir, and Birgitta Birgisdóttir. It looks like a very peculiar and fascinating series filled with awe-inspiring shots of Iceland, taking us deeper into the epic grandeur of volcanoes than ever before. And I like the sci-fi angle here. Can't help admitting I'm very curious about this. ›››

Watch: Horror Short 'The Rule of Three' About Your Inner Demons

The Rule of Three

"Like a voice is telling me to do it." "What happens if you don't listen to it?" So this is what happens! Scary. The Rule of Three is a frightening new slasher horror short film made by young filmmaker Elwood Quincy Walker. The film premiered at a few festivals last year + this year and is now available to watch online. A woman haunted by her OCD and intrusive thoughts must overcome herself and face her inner demons to survive the night in the event of a terrifying home invasion by three masked slashers. It's a freaky fun play on literally confronting your actual "inner demons" as masked slasher people. And it's also just a well-made, engaging, and very scary horror short. Starring Hannah Barefoot and James Warfield. And there's even a great score along with it, made by Alexander Taylor. I'm always on the lookout for clever, distinct short films that also feel cinematic and polished, and this is a good one that really stands out. Battle your demons. ›››

Mark Wahlberg in First Trailer for Reincarnation Action Movie 'Infinite'

Infinite Trailer

"This isn't your first life, Evan. You are an infinite." Paramount has finally unveiled the first official trailer for sci-fi action thriller Infinite, the latest from director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, Shooter, Equalizer, Southpaw). Instead of opening this in theaters, they are releasing it streaming exclusively on their "new" service Paramount+ in just a few weeks. Once you watch this trailer you'll see why they're skipping theaters. Loosely adapted from D. Eric Maikranz's fantasy sci-fi novel "The Reincarnationist Papers", Infinite follows Mark Wahlberg as Evan McCauley, a "troubled" man diagnosed as schizophrenic because he's plagued by memories of places he's never visited. He eventually discovers he has been reincarnated multiple times and then joins the ranks of a secret group of other "Infinites" out to save the world. The cast includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sophie Cookson, Jason Mantzoukas, Rupert Friend, Liz Carr, as well as Toby Jones and Dylan O'Brien. This is a cool concept to play with, but this definitely looks like a TV movie, unfortunately. ›››

Official Trailer for Unhinged UK Thriller 'Surge' Starring Ben Whishaw

Surge Trailer

"The police are looking for you." Opening this week in cinemas in the UK is this week is this intense British thriller titled Surge, set in London following a man who begins to fall apart over 24 hours. This premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival last year and was instantly compared to Joker, but it doesn't really have that kind of vibe. Surge "is a stripped back thriller about a man who goes on a bold and reckless journey of self-liberation." Ben Whishaw stars, with Ellie Haddington and Jasmine Jobson. It's an eerie, slow burn film that builds to a boil and tries to make a point, but overall feels muddled in its attempts to make that point. But it is uncomfortable filmmaking and tries be honest so I respect that it gives us something more than just another expected story. This trailer came out months ago but we just caught up with it now. ›››

Dinner in America Trailer

"Do you think I'm weird?" Arrow Video in the UK has released a trailer for the indie comedy titled Dinner in America, already being hailed as an "instant cult classic." This premiered at last year's Sundance Film Festival, and played tons of other fests including the Dublin, Neuchâtel, Fantasia, Nightstream, Stockholm, Tallinn Black Nights, and Calgary Underground. An on-the-lam punk rocker and a young woman obsessed with his band unexpectedly fall in love and go on an epic journey through America's decaying Midwestern suburbs. "Set to the beat of brilliant original songs, Dinner in America is an empowering wild ride through the places and people of suburbia — in all their peculiar and chaotic forms. Welcome to the Dollhouse collides with Napoleon Dynamite - with an added dose of the endlessly quotable dialogue of Heathers - Dinner in America is a DIY love letter to being authentically yourself, finding your voice, and being punk AF." Starring Kyle Gallner and Emily Skeggs. This looks totally all-out crazy - but in a good way! Enjoy. ›››

New US Trailer for Strange Romance 'My Tender Matador' from Chile

My Tender Matador Trailer

"He's going to break your heart, but that's what friend are for." Freestyle Digital Media has debuted a new US trailer for a Chilean indie film titled My Tender Matador, also known as Tengo Miedo Torero in Spanish. This originally premiered in the Venice Days sidebar at the Venice Film Festival last year. Amid the political turmoil during 1980s in Chile, a lonely transvestite engages in a risky clandestine operation after falling in love with a guerrilla who asks her to hide dangerous secrets of the revolution at home. Based on the groundbreaking novel by queer icon Pedro Lemebel, the film received positive reviews praising the lead performances: "Castro and Ortizgris work wonderfully together, their rapport an easy one, the truth of their potential relationship less important than the bonhomie they share." Starring Alfredo Castro, Leonardo Ortizgris, and Julieta Zylberberg. This looks quite unique, capturing the intricacies of Chile in the 80s. ›››

Jim Broadbent & Helen Mirren in UK Trailer for True Story 'The Duke'

The Duke Trailer

"He borrowed your Goya to do a bit of good in this world." Pathe UK has released the first official trailer for a kooky British crime comedy titled The Duke, the latest from filmmaker Roger Michell (Notting Hill, Changing Lanes, Venus, Morning Glory, Hyde Park on Hudson, My Cousin Rachel, Blackbird). This first premiered at last year's Venice Film Festival and is opening in cinemas in the UK this September (no US release date has been set yet). In 1961, Kempton Bunton, a 60 year old taxi driver, steals Goya's portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. This is the story of how, why, and who he was. It turns out he was just a bumbling British guy who didn't like paying for the BBC and wanted to come up with a scheme to make them change. Jim Broadbent stars as Kempton, with Helen Mirren, Matthew Goode, Charlotte Spencer, Fionn Whitehead, and John Heffernan. This isn't so much a crime caper as it is a comedy about this guy. It's amusing, and a good story, and some will find it just delightful to watch. ›››

Watch: Wacky Insomnia Animated Short Film 'Room with a Sea View'

Room with a Sea View Short Film

Does anyone know how to cure insomnia? Sometimes it's impossible - and everything just makes it worse. This intriguing, wacky, weird animated short film is a magical journey into the strange realms of insomnia. Room with a Sea View is kooky animated short created by Russian filmmaker Leonid Shmelkov, made while he was at the Estonian Art Academy. I don't even know how to describe it… Herbert arrives in the seaside city on a long work trip, there he falls in love with a very strange, beautiful saleswoman in a flower shop. But he has insomnia, which starts to mess with him. One comment eloquently describes it: "Super odd and imaginative, like an animated Kaufman movie. It has that Kaufman mix of psychosis and ennui caused by societal expectations." I always appreciate unique, quirky animation. There's a bit of nudity so it's NSFW. ›››

Learn About Dancer / Choreographer Alvin Ailey in 'Ailey' Doc Trailer

Ailey Trailer

"This is what he took up as his crusade. Alvin's protest was on the stage." Neon has revealed an official trailer for an acclaimed documentary film titled Ailey, about the dancer and choreographer named Alvin Ailey. This premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and also stopped by CPH:DOX, with plans to show at Frameline and the Tribeca Film Festival soon this summer. The doc film is an immersive portrait of dance pioneer Alvin Ailey, told through his own words and with a new dance inspired by his life. Sundance praises its creativity: "Where Ailey conveyed poetry through movement, [director Jamila] Wignot crafts a visual poetry to evoke Ailey's memories. Archival footage, layered with audio recordings, expounds on Ailey's upbringing and establishes the language of his inspiration." I watched this at Sundance and it's a very moving, invigorating film about following your dreams. This is a really exquisite for trailer for the film. ›››

"I don't have the power to change my past, I do have the power to change the perception of it." Vertical Entertainment has released an official trailer for an engaging true story crime thriller titled Lanksy, also going under the title A Righteous Man for its UK release.

"Nobody touches my engine but me." Disney has unveiled a third trailer for their smashing new Jungle Cruise movie, an "adventure-filled, Amazon-jungle" voyage from director Jaume Collet-Serra (Unknown, Non-Stop, The Shallows, The Commuter). This was supposed to open in theaters last July, but was delayed due to the pandemic shut downs. Now it will open in theaters AND on Disney+ at the same time starting this July. Lily travels from London to the Amazon jungle and enlists Frank's questionable services to guide her downriver on La Quila—his ramshackle-but-charming boat. Lily is determined to uncover an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities. Dwayne Johnson stars as the riverboat captain, with Emily Blunt as an explorer, plus Edgar Ramirez, Jack Whitehall, Jesse Plemons, Veronica Falcón, Andy Nyman, and Paul Giamatti. This still looks like it's going to be so much jungle fun! Absurd, yes, but absurdly fun. ›››

Official Trailer for 'Sing, Freetown' Documentary About Sierra Leone

Sing, Freetown Trailer

"We need to move this nation forward… That will lead into a brighter, better future." Insight Films has released the first official trailer for a documentary film titled Sing, Freetown, from doc filmmaker Clive Patterson. This is premiering at the Sheffield DocFest coming up in a few weeks, then it opens in the cinema in the UK later in June. The doc film follows an Emmy winning investigative journalist from Sierra Leone, named Sorious Samura, who's grown tired telling negative stories about Africa. He embarks on a journey with his best friend, Sierra Leone's most famous playwright – Charlie Haffner, to create an epic work of national theatre – a play to reclaim their country from negative media narratives and the damaging legacy of colonial rule. It doesn't go as planned… This is a remarkably fascinating clash-of-cultures confrontation to capture on camera. It seems to explore the idea how to evolve, which way is right - focusing on the bad, or on the good. What makes a difference? I'm quite curious to find out and watch this doc. Check it out below. ›››

Pamphlets Music Video

"I don't go outside, outside, outside… I've got flagpoles firmly in my sights." Some of the best music videos ever made feature stop-motion animation (see: Bedshaped by Keane) and here is another one to boggle our minds. Talented animation filmmaker & illustrator Raman Djafari created this music video for the song "Pamphlets" by UK band Squid, from their album "Bright Green Field" released by Warp Records. There's a lot of strange things going on in this music video, following a person with horns running around. But the filmmaker explains how it connects to song: "it is about the emergence from that state of mind (being unfit, unlovable, not compatible) through the embrace of uncertainty, insecurity and difference." I am not a fan of the song, but there's an eerie, alluring vibe to this music video and the things happening in it. Watch below. ›››

My Name is Bulger Doc Trailer

"You would think he would be treated fairly, but it didn't work that way…" Discovery+ has debuted the first official trailer for a compelling doc film titled My Name is Bulger, about the Bulger family. The film follows former Massachusetts political figure William Bulger, younger brother of James "Whitey" Bulger, the notorious Boston crime boss. Most of us know who "Whitey" is, but not the rest of his family. Featuring intimate interviews with family and an exclusive conversation with James Bulger's girlfriend and partner, Catherine Greig, this documentary film strips away the hysteria of daily print headlines and nightly news bulletins to unfold the story of a unique American family who crave to be judged for who they are and what they’ve done, not what their infamous relative did. I don't know much about either, so this is an intriguing look at how we shouldn't be so quick to judge, and how sometimes your name name can change everything. ›››

"Stick to the very first impulse, the reason why you wanted to do this." Netflix has debuted a featurette for the acclaimed Indian musician film The Disciple, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival last year and won Best Screenplay there. This already debuted on Netflix (in the US) in April - we posted the trailer then and the film is available to watch now.

The film was executive produced by Alfonso Cuaron, so he hopped on Zoom to chat about why he supported this talented filmmaker, who is the same director of the underrated drama Court. Self-doubt, sacrifice and struggle converge into an existential crisis for a devoted classical vocalist as the mastery he strives for remains elusive. It's based on the true story of singer Sharad Nerulkar. The Disciple stars Aditya Modak, Arun Dravid, Sumitra Bhave, Deepika Bhide Bhagwat, and Kiran Yadnyopavit, among others.

Scenes from an Empty Church Trailer

"It would give people hope…" MPI Media has unveiled a trailer for an indie drama titled Scenes from an Empty Church, the latest humble film from Turkish-American filmmaker Onur Tukel. He explains it's "a departure from my previous work, which has often been cheerfully dark & cynical… I chose to embrace hope & spirituality at a time when the masses (specifically New Yorkers) were fraught with despair. Though the movie centers around two Catholic priests and their parishioners, the film explores many ideas – organized religion, paganism, nihilism, astral projection, free will, thelink between Judaism and Catholicism." The story is about two priests that open their doors during the NYC lockdown. "We've come to understand the importance of bodies and the flesh, being in the same room with someone, and looking them in the eyes." Starring Kevin Corrigan and Max Casella, Thomas Jay Ryan, Paul Reiser, Natalie Carter, Annie McCain Engman, and Edward Carnevale. It's a film that nicely celebrates our our need for connection. ›››

Review: Craig Gillespie's 'Cruella' Offers Sympathy for the de Vil

Cruella Review

Dodie Smith's 1956 children's novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians originally introduced the world to Cruella de Vil, a fashion-obsessed heiress who kidnaps a litter of Dalmatian puppies to create a spotted fur coat. When Walt Disney read the book back in 1957, he immediately obtained the rights and assigned Bill Peet (Cinderella, Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty) to write the animated adaptation. 1961's 101 Dalmatians was a worldwide box office success, so much so that it was re-issued to cinemas four times: in 1969, 1979, 1985, and 1991. In 1996, Disney released a live-action version, starring Glenn Close as the iconic fashion criminal. Both the animated film and the live-action movie have spawned sequels, but now the franchise's villain is getting her own origin story with Cruella, starring the Academy Award winner Emma Stone. ›››

"It's happening again…" Sony Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for Escape Room: Tournament of Champions, the sequel to the horror Escape Room from 2019. And this isn't even the only "escape room" horror either! Tournament of Champions is the new sequel to the box office hit psychological thriller that terrified audiences. In this one, six people unwittingly find themselves locked in another series of escape rooms, slowly uncovering what they have in common to survive… and discovering that they’ve all played the game before. Of course. Starring Taylor Russell, Logan Miller, Thomas Cocquerel, Holland Roden, Indya Moore, Carlito Olivero, and Jay Erving. Uh, this actually looks pretty damn good! This might be better than the first one. I dig the concept of realistic locations turning into game rooms, and there's some cool references in this. Is that lighthouse a nod to Annihilation? Are the lasers a nod to Cube? Check it out. ›››

Full Trailer for Time Travel Sci-Fi Action Thriller 'The Tomorrow War'

The Tomorrow War Trailer

"Sometimes a man does what's best for his family." Amazon has launched the first full-length official trailer for the sci-fi action movie The Tomorrow War, the latest from The Lego Batman Movie director Chris McKay. A man is drafted to fight in a future war where the fate of humanity relies on his ability to confront his past. This high concept sci-fi ensemble extravaganza is about time travelers who tell us we need to go to the future to fight aliens to save humanity. The only hope for survival is for soldiers and civilians from the present to be transported to the future and join the fight. The ensemble cast features Chris Pratt, Yvonne Strahovski, J.K. Simmons, Betty Gilpin, Sam Richardson, Edwin Hodge, Jasmine Mathews, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Keith Powers. Everything about this looks so generic and medicore, even the explosions seem like they're straight out of the 90s. Same with the dialogue. And there's still not even a clear shot of the aliens in this, they look more like zombies crawling around. Huh. I just hope the movie is better. ›››

Watch: Cute Earth-Loving Robot Ad for Ikea - 'Change a Bit for Good'

Change a Bit for Good

Saving the world one robot at a time! This is just a commercial for Ikea, but it's so much fun and the robot is so adorable, we can't help sharing it anyway. The 60-second ad spot is called "Change a Bit for Good" and it follows a robot around a futuristic world. He/she/it sees a banner for a movie about defender droids with the tagline "save the planet!" So it decides to become a hero and start cleaning up pollution to actually save our planet. The idea is meant to inspire individual action. Ikea explains: "We've set the ambitious goal of becoming fully circular and climate positive by 2030. It's not just about how we do business, but also about wanting to inspire and support customers in taking action too." Made by Pulse Films director Ninian Doff and a VFX studio called "nineteentwenty". I'd honestly watch a series about this friendly robot family. ›››

Dyatlov Pass Examined in 'An Unknown Compelling Force' Doc Trailer

An Unknown Compelling Force Trailer

"Just what were the hikers fleeing from?" 1091 Pictures has unveiled a trailer for a chilling investigative doc called An Unknown Compelling Force, about the mystery of Dyatlov Pass in Russia. You've probably heard of this place before, as they've tried to make horror films about it for years, but it remains a mystery. As it likely will forever. British adventure filmmaker Liam Le Guillou travels under the radar to Russia in search of answers. Braving the dangerous conditions and hundreds of kilometers in sub-polar conditions, the documentary team attempts to reach the very location of the incident, a place the locals call "The Dead Mountain." The film interviews Russian investigators, a former Moscow Times journalist, and friends of the hikers. To uncover the truth, the film also speaks to experts in the US including a former FBI Agent and the former Marin County Coroner to finally reveal the stunning truth of The Dyatlov Pass Incident. (Of course, who knows what really happened there.) It looks creepy! Another "true crime" doc to keep you up at night. ›››

New Trailer for Feel Good Movie 'Even in Dreams' Following a Singer

Even in Dreams Trailer

"She wrote these songs, and you're here to finish them." Purdie Films has released the trailer for a movie titled Even in Dreams, from writer / director Savannah Ostler. Even in Dreams is an "inspiring, feel good, musically driven family film that reminds us all to live our dreams!" This follows a talented young singer named Sam, played by Monica Moore Smith. After her sister passes away, she steps in to fill her place in their band, bringing them all the way to Nashville. "As the taste of fame draws near, tensions begin to rise within the band. Will the vicious music industry tear them apart or will they find Amber's song and truly live their dreams?" In addition to Monica, this stars Alison Arngrim, Nathan Osmond, Adrian R'Mante, Tanner Gillman, James Gaisford, Kaden Caldwell, Savannah Ostler, and Sarah Kent. This looks extremely cheesy and very formulaic, but if you like stories about singing, you will likely enjoy this one, too. ›››

Six Short Trailers for Disney's Diverse 'Launchpad' Short Film Series

Launchpad Short Films Trailers

"I want to tell Jimmy I'm half-vampire." Disney has debuted six individual trailers for their new short film series steaming on Disney+ called Launchpad. We featured one teaser last month, but get a closer look at each one of these below. Bold new storytelling from six new filmmakers with unique perspectives in Disney's Launchpad, arriving in May. The series will feature six different shorts at launch - titled: American Eid, Dinner is Served, Growing Fangs, The Last of the Chupacabras, Let's Be Tigers, and The Little Prince(ss). Much like the Pixar SparkShorts series, they want to tell us stories that we don't usually hear - from a diverse set of voices, about underrepresented people trying to be themselves. Most of them are about teens or kids - one of them is about a half human / half vampire, one of them is about a Mexican-American struggling to carry on her traditions, one of them is about a 7-year-old Chinese kid who loves ballet. We love featuring short films on this site, and I'm impressed that Disney is highlighting some unique stories. Enjoy. ›››

First Trailer for Edgar Wright's 'Last Night in Soho' London Thriller

Last Night in Soho Trailer

"Things will be great when you're… downtown!" Focus Features has debuted the first official trailer for Edgar Wright's vibrant new London thriller titled Last Night in Soho, currently scheduled to open this October. This psychological horror is inspired by other British horror films, like Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now and Polanski's Repulsion. A young girl, passionate about fashion design, is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters her idol, a dazzling wannabe singer. But 1960s London is not what it seems, and time seems to fall apart with shady consequences. The exquisite cast stars Thomasin McKenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy, along with Matt Smith, Diana Rigg, Rita Tushingham, Terrence Stamp, and Jessie Mei Li. This looks ravishing! I love the style and colors and all the terrifying mystery. Everything about this is amazing so far, and that cracking shot turning into the logo is perfect. Do you believe in ghosts? ›››

Official Trailer for 'Alliances Broken' Doc About the Rise & Fall of AAF

Alliances Broken Trailer

"Just focus on selling tickets." 1091 Pictures has released an official trailer for a sports documentary titled Alliances Broken, from filmmaker Steven Potter, profiling the epic rise and fall of the AAF. Described as the "Fyre Festival of sports", this documentary film takes us into the creation and collapse of the Alliance of American Football - another attempt to create something like the XFL, another football league for the spring. They only played for three months, wasted over $250 million, but is there more to the story of how it failed? Alliances Broken is a film that shares the stories of staff members and players who were affected first hand by the wake of the AAF. Only those involved can tell the real story. Featuring appearances by Aaron Evans, Alex Orendorff, Benjamin Sturner, Bryan Woodfork, Chris Brown, & Chris Martin. It seems we're all fascinated by failure, and rather than learning from mistakes, everyone only enjoys hearing the stories told. ›››

US Trailer for 'Undercover Punch & Gun' HK Martial Arts Action Film

Undercover Punch & Gun Trailer

"How would I know you were undercover?" Well Go USA has released their official US trailer for a Hong Kong martial arts action film titled Undercover Punch & Gun, on VOD in the US this June. This already opened in China back in 2019, and it also goes under the strange title Undercover vs. Undercover. It's about two rival police agencies being forced to team up together after a drug trade goes wrong. Undercover police Wu, played by Philip Ng, teams up with unlikely allies in order to fight a major drug dealer and take down a drug smuggling ring. The full cast also includes Vanness Wu, Andy On, Chi Shuai, Joyce Feng, Aaron Aziz, Kitty Jiang, and Aka Chio. This didn't get the best reviews when it originally opened, made by two screenwriters both directing for their first time here. But at least the fight scenes look like fun, that rad spin around them shot. Really that's what we're all watching these films for anyway. Check it out below. ›››

Watch: Incredible Sci-Fi Thriller Short 'Blindsight' About First Contact

Blindsight Short Film

"The ship grows its own crew." "If… it's a ship. If… they're crew." Hell yes – some extra dark space sci-fi! Blindsight is an incredible short film made by multiple collaborators. It took four year to complete and it's now ready to watch - thanks to tip from Neill Blomkamp; this does seem like something his Oats Studios would make as a proof of concept. A small team is sent from Earth to investigate evidence of an alien species and discovers they cannot trust their senses to reflect the reality of the world around them. Blindsight is a short "created by a collaborative group of designers and artists, and directed by Danil Krivoruchko. The film is based on the eponymous sci-fi novel by Peter Watts." This has some extraordinary visuals and some big ideas it explores by questioning humanity's place in the universe. A fascinating, must watch sci-fi short. ›››

New Trailer for Kirk Caouette's Indie Action Film 'American Badger'

American Badger Trailer

"Justice before redemption." Cranked Up Films has released an official US trailer for an indie action movie titled American Badger, made by a Canadian stuntman named Kirk Caouette - who stars, writes & directs this film. This recently premiered at the Glasgow Film Festival a few months ago. A seemingly cold-blooded hitman is assigned to befriend a call girl, but all hell breaks loose when he is forced to kill her. Kirk says, "I was very inspired by the early works of legendary Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar Wai; the way he blended slow burning film noir with explosive action pieces. With this in mind, I set out to create a film that would delve into that space but would also satisfy the appetite of a modern audience that has been gobbling up comic book movies & John Wick films." With Kirk Caouette, Andrea Stefancikova, Michael Kopsa, Milan Stefancik, and Zak Santiago. The action in this actually looks pretty badass, the plot not so much. ›››

Indie Comedy 'Some of Our Stallions' Trailer About a Zany Friendship

Some of Our Stallions Trailer

"I feel like I'm bothering your friend…" Gravitas Ventures has unveiled an official trailer for a wacky indie comedy titled Some of Our Stallions, the latest from filmmaker Carson Mell. This buddy comedy-drama comes from the filmmakers behind Brigsby Bear, Silicon Valley, and Jay & Silent Bob Reboot. When best friends Beautiful Bill and Andy, newly released from a mandatory stint at a mental hospital, struggle to fit into regular society, Bill decides they need romantic love. This kicks off a years-long series of misadventures that challenge not only their friendship, but their grasp on sanity. Carson Mell (Silicon Valley, Eastbound and Down) wrote and directed the film in which he also stars alongside Al Di and Olivia Taylor Dudley; also joined by Tim Heidecker, David Zellner, Stefan Djuric, and Mike Judge.

Sometimes finding the girl of your dreams can be a nightmare… Indie Rights has released an official trailer for a very tiny independent film titled Finding Ophelia, made entirely by filmmaker Stephen Rutterford. "Experience a quixotic new nightmare when writer/director Stephen Rutterford's horror-mystery Finding Ophelia premieres on digital this June." Jimmy Levar stars as William Edgar, a NYC adverting exec who inhabits a strange dream-like reality. His obsession with a mysterious woman leads down a bizarre path full of signs and wonders. This also stars Christina Chu as Ophelia, with Alexandra Lyon, J.J. Crowne, Gabriella Whiting, and Makinley Patterson. I wish more of the film was rotoscoped like the poster art, because this looks more like a personal artistic project than a feature film. Still curious to see more footage. ›››
