Young couple Gemma (Imogen Poots) and Tom (Jesse Eisenberg) are taking the next step in their relationship and buying a house, with hopes of settling down. In their search they stumble across a rather odd‐looking estate agent named Martin (Johnathan Aris), who insists on taking them to Yonder – a new and upcoming neighbourhood.
Soon after their arrival in Yonder their eccentric esta...

In a world where we crave stories, documentaries tell them in their purest form. Whether it be to highlight the weird or document the unknown, documentaries are certainly an underrated, yet powerful format that puts story at its core and refuses to compromise it. Compared to fiction, documentaries are nothing but real fragments of our own world, often elements we never thought existed and would otherwise never be aware of if this format hadn’t opened our eyes to it. Truly, documentaries are i...

From director, Richard Raymond comes A Million Eyes, a short that captures the power of a passion that delves beyond the broken.
A Million Eyes is Leroy’s story. Played by newcomer Elijah M. Cooper, Leroy craves to capture the broken with an eye for photography that possesses every inch of the film with silent desire. But with a broken camera and an alcoholic mother, capturing the truth is often rawer and more unexpected than he intended.
Although running at a mere 24 minutes, Raymond makes u...

We all know the guy.
Kind of shy and unlucky in love, conventionally attractive but not the one everyone goes for. A stable career and a clear future ahead of him: filled with marriage, kids and a comfortable lifestyle. He’s completely average in every way, and honestly, he’s nice. He’s the one we’re meant to root for in his quest for love as the nicest guy in the room, but often nice is the exact opposite of what this guy is.
Take Brooklyn Nine Nine’s Charles Boyle for example. If you’ve see...

Though initially unfazed by the prospect of presentation, panic sets in when Ava realises that the inevitable has happened: she got her first period...

There is no question that Battle Royale and The Hunger Games are certainly very similar. In fact, its almost certain that these two texts are too similar — with The Hunger Games being called a “rip-off” of Battle Royale on several different accounts. Yet, despite the intent of these similarities, the ultimate messages of these films are almost the exact opposite of one another.
Battle Royale, much like The Hunger Games, is a film which depicts a fight to the death. Under the newly implemented...
