Anna Haslehner's cinematic music video, DEVIL'S DAUGHTER AND PREACHER'S SON is a wonderful journey following the lives of a two souls, from wildly different backgrounds, who are forever connected to each other! Visually beautiful and perfectly paced with the brilliant music of GLIMMER / SUSI SEYFERT, this film is a joy to watch and a MUST SEE for all!

Alan Chung-An, Ou's short film, PART FOREVER left audiences in a state of disoriented shock for days after it screened at the 2022 Blackbird Film Festival. With haunting sound design, thrilling visuals, and a very unnerving script, PART FOREVER is sure to leave you feeling uncomfortable in your own skin! As far as the indie horror genre is concerned, this film knocks it out of the park! A MUST WATCH for any horror / thriller enthusiasts!

Vincent and Alena Turturro's short film, GERI AND RICK is unlike most "shorts" of the day with their fast cuts and nonstop pacing... To the contrary, the Turturros allow the script / screen to breathe as the audience is introduced to Geri (Tammi Cubilette) and Rick (Kenny Borland) - two over-the-hill hustlers on the outskirts of town. Unlike most films, GERI AND RICK explores the subtle nuances of idle dialogue and the nostalgia embedded in silence as the backstory of these, seemingly secondary to the world at large, characters unravels on screen. Expertly acted by Cubilette and Borland, GERI AND RICK is a testament to 1970s style of filmmaking and the Turturro's are MASTERS of their craft! This film is spectacular in many ways and an absolute UNIQUE in its execution!
