FYRE Review

It’s a pitch perfect story of 21st century pop culture decadence in which young professionals are sold an Instagram filtered fantasy that only exists in their phones.

GENESIS 2.0 Review

In order to appreciate Genesis 2.0 fully, there must be an effort made by the viewer to take a pensive look at what the filmmakers are putting forth.

AMERICAN STREET KID Review

There may be more creative or more technically composed documentaries out there, but I have never in my life seen a documentary, or any film for that matter, that made me care about the people on screen as much as American Street Kid.

CINEMABILITY: THE ART OF INCLUSION Review

Good intentions mean a lot and Gold would know more about the disabled Hollywood experience than any of us, but this does not make her film any less better structured or clear in its overall intention.

HILLBILLY Review

It’s easy to poke fun at Appalachia and its denizens, disregarding them as simple-minded white trash with a lack of culture, but the more we ostracize and belittle a group of people, the more divided we become as a nation. This is something we’ve done far too much of as of late, and maybe this film will encourage us all to be more tolerant of others, even those considered hillbillies.

MATANGI/MAYA/M.I.A. Review

Matangi/Maya/M.I.A. is a fascinating look at one of the most relentlessly talented and unique musicians working today, and the film fits the artist. It’s raw, candid and brings with it a narrative that’s both energetic and important.
