Julie Pacino’s feature film debut, I Live Here Now, is, simply put, stunning. A confronting debut that screams in the face of patriarchy, it demonstrates Pacino’s assured vision as a filmmaker. After a successful world premiere at the 2025 Fantasia International Film Festival, the film is now heading to the Locarno Film Festival to continue its tour around the world.

Read the full synopsis below:

In the surreal landscape of I Live Here Now, Rose (Lucy Fry), a struggling actress in Los Angeles, is thrown into crisis by an unexpected pregnancy. Believed to be infertile due to childhood trauma, she’s forced to confront a future she never thought possible, just as a major career opportunity with top agent Cindy Abrams (Cara Seymour) comes into view.

Things spiral further when her casual boyfriend, Travis (Matt Rife), and his overbearing mother (Sheryl Lee) weigh in, pushing Rose to the brink.

On Matt Rife’s Instagram and TikTok accounts, the same crowd-work stand-up routine is pinned. It’s an extended Milf bit about a beautiful blonde in the front row who gifted the comedian a Tupperware of cookies and a shirt that read “I came to Iowa and all I got was this shirt and a blow job.” Rife bites into the cookie, then lauds the woman with compliments on both her baked goods and the cookies.

The clip was posted more than two years ago on both TikTok and Instagram. On Instagram, it has more than 1.5 million likes and still receives new comments daily. On TikTok, it’s been viewed almost 62 million times. It’s one of several viral crowd-work bits where there’s a flirtation element or where Rife starts taking his belt off for an audience member.

While Rife made headlines for his first Netflix special, where he...

Right now, there’s one question dominating my feed (and no, it’s not why Matt Rife bought the Annabelle doll, though honestly, fair query). It’s this: “How do all these pop stars make their legs look so damn good on stage?”

Chances are, your first instinct was to dive into the comments section in search of answers. Is there a leg-contouring specialist we don’t know about?...

Well, at least you can’t say Matt Rife started this one.

Two years ago, Marc Maron was moderating a discussion about Kliph Nestoroff’s comedy history Outrageous when, in response to an audience member’s question, he held up Rife as everything wrong with modern stand-up. Rife is “the new It Boy of shitty comedy,” Maron declared. “And he’s taking a big chance in his career right now to shit on the mostly female audience that he accumulated through social media to kiss up to these pseudo edge lords.”

Two years later, Rife is telling Billboard he has no beef with Maron before revealing just how deep those cuts really were. After all, Rife once looked up to the older comic. “You’re kind of being a dick to somebody who might have looked up to you,” Rife said as if Maron were in the room. “I used...

Writer/director Julie Pacino makes her feature film debut with the lush & surreal psychological thriller I Live Here Now. Shot on a mix of 35mm and 16mm film, this journey through the mind of an aspiring actress is a nightmare odyssey of scarred memories, bad boyfriends, and the cruel standards of the film industry. From a story perspective it’s maybe not the most groundbreaking examination of trauma but it is an undeniable visual feast from start to finish, with a stunning colour palette and a cast of kooky characters.

I Live Here Now stars Lucy Fry (Bright) as Rose, an actress that’s being pushed to the brink of starvation just for a chance to be considered worthwhile to a casting director. With an incredibly important opportunity just days away, she should be focusing on her audition tape but Rose is forced to leave town in search of an...

Matt Rife hasn’t posted too much about his girlfriend Mariah Morse on Instagram and he’s making rare comments about his relationship and why they’ve remained relatively private.

The 29-year-old comedian and actor went Instagram official with Mariah a few weeks ago to celebrate her birthday, sharing a photo of them kissing.

TMZ confirmed back in March that Matt and Mariah, a fitness model, were dating, but the couple has kept details about their relationship private.

In a new interview, Matt was asked about an Instagram post that featured the back of a woman, who was Mariah.

“Yeah, it’s my girlfriend, Mariah [Morse]. I don’t post a whole lot about my personal life on social media because people are absolutely insane, and at this point I try to distance your personal and professional life as much as possible,” Matt told Billboard.

Matt Rife hasn’t done enough terrorizing of the earthly plane, so he bought up the largest collection of paranormal items in the world. The comedian announced on TikTok that he and his friend Elton Castee purchased the home of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, which includes numerous haunted objects. The most famous of the objects is the Annabelle doll, which is rumored to be possessed.

“This might be the most important and prominent piece of paranormal history in the world,” Rife said on TikTok. “Ed and Lorraine Warren are who took demonology and ghost hunting and paranormal investing and made it mainstream. I know a lot of you guys don’t know what any of this means whatsoever, but if you follow ghost stuff, this is about as big as it gets.”

He’s not wrong — the collection is as “big as it gets.” The doll has had its own horror movie,...

The notorious Annabelle doll and Warren family home that are portrayed in The Conjuring have a new owner. The original horror movie, which launched an ongoing franchise, explores various paranormal cases surrounding Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga). Audiences learn about Annabelle in The Conjuring before following a haunted Rhode Island residence.

An Annabelle spinoff and additional entries were subsequently released, portraying mostly imaginary stories, and the Annabelle doll has since become a popular horror figure. It is also highlighted in The Conjuring movies that Annabelle and many other haunted items are housed by Ed and Lorraine.

Comedian Matt Rife has now revealed that he has bought the Warren family home and Occult Museum. Taking to Instagram, Rife explained that he and Elton Castee will legally manage Annabelle and all spooky items "for at least the next 5 years."

Rife noted that he enjoysthe The Conjuring universe and...

Comedian Matt Rife and YouTuber Elton Castee have officially bought one of the most talked-about haunted properties in the United States, the Warren home in Monroe, Connecticut. This is the same house that holds the infamous Annabelle doll, the one that inspired The Conjuring movies.

The news came straight from Rife himself in an Instagram post. In it, he shared that he will now be the legal guardian of the Annabelle doll and the rest of the haunted collection for at least the next five years. “If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with the paranormal and all things haunted,” he said. “I’m incredibly honored to have taken over one of the most prominent properties in paranormal history.”

Rife and Castee say their plan is to open the Warren home for overnight stays and museum tours.

Comedian Matt Rife and YouTuber Elton Castee have just bought one of the most famous haunted properties in America, the Warren home in Monroe, Connecticut. This is the same house that holds the real Annabelle doll, made infamous by The Conjuring movie series.

The house was once owned by legendary paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who claimed that Annabelle, a Raggedy Ann doll, was possessed by something evil. According to the Warrens, the doll terrified its original owner, a young nurse named Donna, in the 1970s.

They say it could move by itself and had a history of causing strange accidents. The Warrens eventually locked it inside a special glass case in their Occult Museum to keep it from harming anyone. Scientists and skeptics have dismissed these claims as folklore, but the story has become a huge part of horror culture.

If there’s one thing we have learned about supposedly possessed dolls, it’s to just assume they are possessed and get the hell out of there. But comedian Matt Rife is going to tempt the spirits, as he announced that he has purchased Annabelle, the Raggedy Ann doll that is supposedly possessed and became one of the central points of “evidence” for paranormal investigators (and swindlers) Ed and Lorraine Warren. But it’s not just the Annabelle doll that Rife bought – it’s the home and museum of the Warrens, which he and his partner will reopen after the location was closed to the public.

Taking to Instagram this week, Matt Rife wrote, “Insane Announcement…I have officially purchased Ed and Lorraine Warren’s home and Occult Museum, including being the legal guardian for at least the next 5 years, of the entire haunted collection including The Annabelle Doll, with my good friend @eltoncastee!

Known for making people laugh, Matt Rife is currently flying solo and has not been rumored to be dating anyone. But the major twist is his recent spooky move. The comedian recently revealed that he’s now the proud co-owner of The haunted Warren house. Yep, you heard it right- the one that inspired The Conjuring movies. Alongside YouTube Elton Castee, Rife isn’t just moving into creepy real estate; he’s now actually the legal guardian of Annabelle.

Yes, that Annabelle- the freaky, real-life doll which is said to be possessed. In a TikTok update, Rife added,

We are the legal guardians and caretakers of all 750 haunted artifacts and items in the Warren museum, including the Annabelle doll. We don’t legally own the items, but we are legal guardians and caretakers of the items for at least the next five years.

Well, this is interesting, isn’t it?...

Comedian Matt Rife revealed on social media that he and YouTuber Elton Castee have bought the Monroe, Connecticut home of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren—along with the storied Occult Museum that houses the rag doll said to inspire the Conjuring franchise’s Annabelle.

Rife wrote that the agreement makes him legal guardian of the entire collection for at least five years, calling the responsibility “an honor” for a lifelong horror fan. The previous owner, the Warrens’ son-in-law Tony Spera, endorsed the hand-off and will advise on artifact handling protocols, according to the buyers. The museum, shuttered since 2019, remains packed with crucifixes, haunted paintings and satanic relics catalogued during the Warrens’ five-decade career.

Local officials forced the closure after determining that steady tourist traffic violated residential zoning rules. Rife and Castee say they will apply for a special permit to reopen for small tours and overnight investigations and are...

Abandoned at Whiskey Pete’s Season 29 Episode 4 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “Ghost Adventures,” titled “Abandoned at Whiskey Pete’s,” promises to be a thrilling exploration of a ghostly casino in a deserted town. Zak Bagans and his team are set to investigate the eerie atmosphere of this location, which is rumored to be haunted by the spirit of a notorious bootlegger. Fans of the show can expect an intriguing mix of history and paranormal activity as the crew delves into the dark past of this abandoned site.

In this episode, the team will be joined by comedian Matt Rife, adding a unique twist to the investigation. His presence is sure to bring a different energy to the haunted setting, as they all confront the unsettling spirits that linger in the shadows. The combination of Zak’s expertise in the paranormal and...

I Live Here Now

Director Julie Pacino's début feature, I Live Here Now, stars Lucy Fry as Rose, a struggling actress who discovers she's pregnant. However, Rose had been told she was infertile due to childhood trauma. This unwanted pregnancy collides with an opportunity to sign with Cindy Abrams (Cara Seymour), a top talent agent in Los Angeles. And to make matters worse, her lover Travis (Matt Rife) refuses to stand up to his domineering mother (Sheryl Lee), who appears set to deprive Rose of autonomy over her own body when she decides to abort the pregnancy.

Pacino's short films tackle a diverse range of subjects, from reckoning with one's dark past and lost souls seeking belonging in Abracadabra, to grief in To See The Day, and what it's like to be an assistant on a porn shoot in Hard Work.

Plot: A woman finds herself trapped in a remote hotel where the violent echoes of her past come alive, blurring the lines between her darkest nightmares and the waking world.

Review: You just never know what to expect when the children of famous actors start getting into the film world themselves. Sometimes it’s a disaster, and other times they blossom into great filmmakers of their own. Hailing from Julie Pacino, there’s sure to be a certain spotlight on her finally stepping into the world of feature film. And rather than play it safe, she’s decided to enter the world of surrealist horror. On the surface, it’s a subgenre without answers and more up for interpretation, but it requires a firm vision to pull it off. I Live Here Now rides the line and ultimately is able to accomplish what it’s trying to do.

I Live Here Now...

In the upcoming episode of “Ghost Adventures,” titled “Abandoned at Whiskey Pete’s,” Zak Bagans and the crew embark on a thrilling investigation in a haunting desert town. Set to air on Saturday, August 2, 2025, at 9:00 Pm on Travel, this episode promises to deliver chills and excitement as the team explores the eerie atmosphere of a casino linked to a notorious bootlegger’s spirit.

The crew arrives at Whiskey Pete’s, a location steeped in dark history and ghostly tales. With comedian Matt Rife joining the team, viewers can expect a mix of humor and spine-tingling moments as they delve into the casino’s haunted past. The notorious bootlegger’s presence adds a layer of intrigue, and the team is determined to uncover the truth behind the dark energy that seems to linger in the shadows.

As Zak and his team investigate the casino’s haunted corners, they will face unsettling encounters and mysterious phenomena.

Premiering at this year’s Fantasia International Film Festival, “I Live Here Now” is a hellish, fever-dream-like trip. In her feature debut, writer-director Julie Pacino has chosen to explore the labyrinths of human psychology and memories. Comparisons with David Lynch’s works, specifically “Inland Empire,” are inevitable. Admittedly, “I Live Here Now” pulls its punches and remains a little more rooted to ‘reality’ than what “Inland Empire” did. Whether that is for the good or the bad, it depends entirely on whether you find Lynch frustratingly impenetrable or bizarrely brilliant. I tend to veer towards the latter while appreciating the frustration mentioned in the former. So, as someone who does not mind an occasional nightmare, “I Live Here Now” just about works for me.

Like “Inland Empire,” “I Live Here Now” centers around an actress and her bid to play a role. Rose (Lucy Fry) is an aspiring actress who...

Lucy Fry’s Rose, a woman haunted by trauma, ends up checking herself into an inn where reality seems to unravel, blurring the lines between past and present, and waking life and dreams. That’s the set-up for I Live Here Now, writer-director Julie Pacino’s feature directorial debut, which world premieres on Thursday at the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal before screening at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland in the out-of-competition lineup and then traveling to the Edinburgh International Film Festival for its Midnight Madness program.

“The film pulses with competing anxieties: the pursuit of perfection, the weight of generational trauma, and the invisible fist of capitalism tightening its grip around the necks of its characters,” the Fantasia synopsis reads. “Pacino plunges us into a vibrant and nightmarish psychodrama that reverberates with echoes of David Lynch, Dario Argento and the Coen brothers.”
