    Care directed by Erika Gronek was the one documentary piece I screened as part of the Celluloid in the Sun Showcase at the AZ Underground Film Fest and it was an interesting doc to say the least.

  • Return to Mayhem more teaser than short film

    One of two animation shorts I saw at the Arizona Underground Film Festival was The Villikon Chronicles: Return to Mayhem. The three minute short, written by Bryan Kinnaird and directed by Rebecca Friedman, is just a very small segment in The Villikon Chronicles series created by Kinnaird.

  • Easy A scores a B

    Iโ€™m sure that during the pitch meeting for Easy A, someone described it as Saved meets Mean Girls. Itโ€™s got the sexy-but-funny redheaded leading lady of Tina Feyโ€™s witty high school flick and the self-righteous religious villains of the pre-Juno teen pregnancy comedy.
