Repression is wild insofar as our minds pushing trauma down to the depths of our soul without a second thought. While guilt will ravage some to the point where certain actions become inescapable no matter what is used to numb the pain, others can completely detach themselves from the same memory. They will justify that they weren’t involved — innocent bystanders helping a friend who got in too far over his head. They fashion themselves as heroes whose karmic stockpile is cleansed from wrongdoing and thus renders them able to carry on as though nothing happened. Years go by and they forget it in a haze, merging that horrific event with the good times until unwittingly stumbling back as though called by their consciences to receive their long-awaited penance.

This notion of fate evening a score lies at the back of David McCracken’s Bullitt County even if we aren’t aware at the start.

In today’s film news roundup, “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” adds to its cast, Afm announces its programming, “Bullitt County” gets a release, and “1985” will open NewFest.

Mubi is hosting the exclusive global premiere of Gary Walkow's Radio Mary (2017), which will be showing November 28 - December 28, 2017.Gary Walkow’s filmmaking career has a peculiar shape. For a while he looked like a low-key American indie success story waiting for his breakthrough. His first feature The Trouble With Dick shared the Grand Prize at the 1987 Us Film Festival, which was renamed to Sundance a few years later. Notes From Underground (1995), a modern-day Dostoyevsky adaptation, premiered at Toronto and got good reviews and a modest bit of distribution; but Beat (2000), with Kiefer Sutherland and Courtney Love as Bill and Joan Burroughs, had a rocky reception at Sundance and seemed to mark the end of Indiewood’s flirtation with Walkow. After a hiatus that included an unfinished film, Walkow’s career began a second, more clandestine phase with Crashing (2007), a very low-budget comedy that eventually received DVD distribution, boosted...

Los Angeles based first-time filmmaker Russell Bailey created the smart, charming indie dramedy "Barmy" on modest means. The film tells the story of a stubborn cartoonist forced to give up his independence and open himself up to the possibility of romance. The film is available to view now on SnagFilms (and below). What it's really about: It's all too common to get caught up in the ideal of being self-reliant. By trying to live at this standard as productive "individuals," most people live very isolated lives, unaware of the beauty of community around them. That's what this story is about – Charlie Atwood (Napoleon Ryan), who lives a self-reliant lifestyle to the extreme until he is in a car-bicycle collision. Charlie is forced to face his worst fear: the complete loss of independence. Through his struggle of being confined to a full-leg cast and virtually immobile, Charlie must reevaluate his thought process,...

Are we in the middle of a short‑film revolution? Not long ago, if you wanted to catch short work by exciting new film-makers, you had to travel to a festival, hunt down a compilation on DVD, catch a charitable showing on TV or, if you were uncommonly lucky, before the main feature at the cinema. Now all you have to do, assuming you have internet access and a passing familiarity with video-hosting websites, is switch on your computer.

The curious thing about short films is that, regardless of audience and financial incentive, people have continued to make them with great enthusiasm. This is in part because...

Until he moved to the States last January, Napoleon Ryan had never heard the term "self-starter." "Once you come out of university or drama school, you kind of assume somebody will wave a magical wand over you and you'll have a career," said the English actor, who is now living in North Hollywood, Calif. "I've had to become much more proactive."Frustrated that he couldn't get to the better auditions because he was not in the Screen Actors Guild, Ryan did what many nonunion actors are now doing: He created a Web series ("Crowded House"), made sure to cast himself alongside at least one SAG actor, and started production. A few months later, he became SAG-eligible, a status that allows him to audition for guild-covered work; he will join the union as soon as he gets cast in something.In the past few years, the performers' unions and the Alliance...
