After successfully funding via Kickstarter, "The Lovers" short film premieres on August 30th!

The Lovers by Studio Heartbreak is an animated thriller about the romantic tension between a seafood chef and a siren, set in a dark fantasy Philippines.

I'm very excited for indie body horror with a forbidden siren X sushi chef romance! (CW: blood and gore)

Two micro-budget horror darlings, two very different problems. Resolution mistakes nihilism for profundity, pulling the rug out from under its own emotional core just to prove a point that isn’t nearly as clever as it thinks it is. Creep, on the other hand, stretches human behavior past the breaking point in service of a gimmick it never fully justifies.

Two versions. One idea. A decade of evolution. Amber Alert (2012) was a chaotic found-footage experiment that mistook irritation for tension. Amber Alert (2024) trades that rawness for control—smoother, smarter, but also safer. Same premise. Different priorities.

Jonas Mekas built a co-op so underground films could survive without the system. Ted Hope is building FilmStack for the same reason. Same impulse, sixty years apart. Here's the thread. https://joetripician.substack.com/p/the-underground-and-the-non-dependent

Creative accounting, moral outsourcing, and men trapped inside games they agreed to play. From Ray McKinnon’s backwoods nightmare to Auster’s Möbius-strip of chance and punishment, these films use numbers the way horror uses knives.

Cinema loves dying girls who never get sick, never get ugly, and never disrupt the romance. Three films, one lie: terminal illness as a decorative subplot.

ICYMI: Breaking Glass Pictures Releases ‘Sway’ On Digital https://popgeeks.com/breaking-glass-pictures-releases-sway-on-digital/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #SwayMovie #IndieFilm #Thriller #DigitalRelease #BlackCinema

Salome (2025) buys into the persistent idea that for a classic text to resonate with modern audiences, it must be given a trendy makeover. If that were true, why didn’t Oscar Wilde set his one-act tragedy about Herod Antipas’ stepdaughter in the late 1800s?

🎸 Groupie (2010) wants to be Fatal Attraction with guitars — but instead, it borrows real-life tragedy for cheap drama and fails to deliver any real insight. A horror of missed opportunities.

Editor Jon Gollner's rough cut of MY LAST MARTINI is a beauty! And it's only gonna get better as we refine it. Can't wait to share this film with the world.

Another BTS shot from MY LAST MARTINI. Preparing for a closeup with Wendy Robie and Mickey O'Sullivan. Cameo by Chris Rejano's arm.

By the way, Mickey stepped into the role on two days' notice after Michael Stejskal was felled with COVID. Thus saving the shoot. And he did a damn fine job.

Another BTS shot from MY LAST MARTINI. Wendy Robie between takes. Her performance is an exquisite balancing act between vulnerability and strength.

I'm watching Wendy Robie on the monitor giving a masterclass in performance. During a take where everything is clicking you just hold your breath and try not to break the spell.
