In what feels like a movie that could also play at Fantastic Fest or Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal, the SxSW Midnighters entry NEW JACK FURY landed on my desk with a thud! And an exclamation point! This looks like a total throwback to the worn VHS tapes that I used to grow up with! […]

Another entry into the strong collection of documentaries at this year’s South By Southwest Film & TV Festival is MAKE IT LOOK REAL from filmmaker Kate Blackmore, which had a lot of buzz at the festival for the somewhat “touchy” (no pun intended) topic of intimacy co-ordinators on film and TV sets.
