What happens when an MTV Best VFX Nominee goes indie short film director? Magic. Film industry veteran David Lea’s “On Sunday” is a charming sci-fi short with heart and a wonderful message. It reminded me of Up, the way David artfully reveals our main, melancholy character’s life sans dialog. And, like Up, there is an…

It can be hard to be a viewer these days. The film and television industries obviously dictate what gets made and how it comes out. There are a lot of remakes, sequels, prequels and spinoffs and sometimes it turns out all right, but most of the time it doesn’t. Bigger budgets, less plot, bigger names…

You might be disappointed at the lack of blood spatter. Second, keep in mind that all the main characters are vampires and they are determinedly and…
