"Take the Night" is a concertina, a family crime drama of second chances, worth a look to see if they're secured or squandered.

John Stimpson's "Ghost Light" is a quaint absurd supernatural comedy about a travelling theatre company; whose desperation for escaping their status is rivalled only by their lack of self-awareness.

Documentarian Ta Opre’s “Killing the Shepherd” captures a remote Zambian community of Shikabeta on the brink of wildlife depletion, starvation and destruction.

Emmy Award-winning Writer/director Trevor Hawkins’ debut narrative feature “Lotawana” is a cautionary love letter to wandering.

“Outlier” is an out of the frying pan and into the fire examination of toxic relationships and the implicit magnetic lure of substituting one bad situation for another. Director and co-writer Nate Strayer’s lockdown inspired debut is once dripping with potential. With “Outlier”, co-writers Jona Doug and Strayer take “Misery” through Mark Zuckerberg’s “Meta-Verse” looking glass.

“Here Alone” - a deeply affecting tale of isolation - does more with its modest 150 thousand dollar budget and 90 odd minutes than so many survival horror thrillers before or since. Discovering this 2016 tale feels more like finding a lost premonition than another entry into the swarm of zombie genre fare that occupied the 2010s.

"Transference" is a tragic story of insecurity and self-sabotage in the face of love and happiness. Transference is the practice of substitution, and writer/director/star Raffaello Degruttola sees this as a symptom of this doomed coupling.

“West of Michigan” searches for meaning in the detours, the guesses and the errors after the trials. It’s a meandering, personal tale that echoes the universal question at the end of high school; what happens now? What’s refreshing is that despite the growing clouds of uncertainty, it still positively beams, “I’m not sure, but we’ll figure it out together.”

Charles Frank’s “Somewhere With No Bridges” turned me into a puddle. It’s a deeply personal, poetic, searching eulogy. Frank’s ruminating documentary investigation looks to unearth the answers to his formative memories in the New England fishing community of Martha’s Vineyard. This delicate, intuitive probe is told with the reverence and grace of Terrence Malick’s “Tree of Life”.

“Minor Premise” is a significant formal achievement, featuring a phenomenally engaging Sathya Sridharan performance. Director/co-writer Eric Schultz creates an intentionally disorienting and fast-paced ‘all in your head’ whodunnit where the suspects are the competing sections of neuroscientists fractured consciousness.

“Blood From Stone” aspires to be the neon trailer park, blood splatter sister of “Only Lover’s Left Alive.”

What if you can’t let go? What if you can’t move on? How far would you retreat into yourself - affecting the world around you - to hold onto a sliver of what you once had? These are some of the questions that “L’autre” asks. You’ll have to watch it to see how it answers.

"Busman's Holiday" is an unexpected wonder. A welcome surprise at every single turn.

“The Racer” is a demystifying glimpse into the ‘win or die’ world of competitive cycling.

“Rom Boys: 40 Years of Rad” is a beautifully raw and inarticulate prayer for London’s concrete shrine to 70s Californian Skate culture; the ROM Skatepark. Director Matt Harris compiles a crew of some of the world’s most prominent skaters and BMX riders to shed light on the 40 years that each unforgiving undulate of this concrete playground has shaped generations of English skaters.

“Northwood Pie” is a scrappy underdog of a film that elevates a town’s communal pizza joint to an essential ‘rite of passage’.

“Chasing Einstein” is an illuminating ‘popcorn’ documentary following the world’s leading physicists, scientists and tech disruptors attempting to transcend Einstein’s enduring theory of gravity.

"Fame-ish" is kind of "Chef"-"ish" and "Jay and Silent Bob: Reboot" - "ish".

“Standoff" is a tight little short from writer Illan Strauss and director Devan Young that creates a bent little version of our reality where guns are superimposed into the hands of every man, woman and child that populate this world.

“The King of Staten Island” is a charming and heartfelt comedy that will push you to the limits of your infuriation. Pete Davidson’s naked, authentic, arrested development may make you rage until you scream.
