I got to see The Beldham at Austin Film Festival last year when it premiered there and I am extremely glad I did. It's a true indie film in the best ways, subverting industry expectations at every turn all while looking genuinely stunning (and creepy AF) from start to finish. What's most refreshing about it though, is that it it's more than just a jump-scare horror film. It's got the scares and the gore and such (don't get me wrong) but underneath all that is a moving story about generational trauma and grief that will connect with most folks who sit down to give it a watch. Highly recommend for fans of elevated horror!

Sexy, subversive, and nuanced, "I Really Love My Husband" is all at once a throwback to the great rom-coms of old as well as a fresh and biting take on modern love. It's equal parts funny and cringe-worthy in the best way. The setting is stunning and the characters complicated, humanizing marriage in a way most films are too scared to do. If you love indie film, this one's an absolute banger!

Heartwarming and heart-wrenching all at once, 12 Months peels back the curtain on love - warts and all - providing an honest look at a toxic relationship, one that's equal parts beautiful and unsettling. Elizabeth Hirsch-Tauber and Michael James Kelly each give incredibly compelling and genuine performances in the leading roles, earning empathy and ire from moment to moment, both detestable and lovable every other turn. The grounded and gritty approach to the camerawork further adds to the film's authenticity, crafting something close to home for anyone who's ever navigated the highs and lows of companionship.
