Indie Spotlight: On Sunday – A David Lea Short
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…
Undertale is the Gaming World’s Darling
Since it’s release this past fall, the indie darling Undertale has taken the gaming world by storm. The roleplaying game was created and developed by Toby Fox who also wrote the story and composed the music. After raising $51,124 in a Kickstarter campaign Fox was able to publish the game in September of 2015. In…
Fund an Original: Peacekeepers
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…
TRAILER TALK: Shadows on the Wall
I was hooked instantly. That’s probably the best way to begin talking about this trailer. It doesn’t start with some vague threat, or generic establishing shot. It starts on a metaphor, a literal fable, one about unchanging nature. But whose? Humanity’s, or something else? Mysteries are a powerful tool, and this trailer wields it with…
Sci-Fi on a Budget: The Drift
In a time of massive budgets and CGI overloads, there is a special place in science fiction for the low budget. The people behind The Drift agree. The movie is a passion project for director Darren Scales and his team of over a hundred volunteers who have been working for three years to turn out 100…
ALBUM REVIEW: Curious Quail’s After the Lights Failed
If this is the music that plays at the end of the world… …then I say… “LET IT BURN!” After the Lights Failed is a chaotic album, and I mean that in the best possible way. It kept me on my toes as I drifted through each song, losing track of time and where I…
Cimmerian Needs YOU!
In any movie/television series wherein the world has ended, the narrative is always the same: do what you can to survive in the post-apocalyptic world. But what happens when survivors are given a choice between staying alive and possibly saving the world? Cimmerian takes place three years after a virus created by a group called…
A Look at “Marooned” by Adventure Galley
Let me ask you a question. What do you get when you mix an episode of The Twilight Zone with a Stanley Kubrick comedy? This: A music video made in the modern era that pays homage to the old 1950s-style science fiction films and television. In a grim future, the planet Earth is depleted of…
Only Lovers Left Alive: How the Undead Other Half Lives
I’ve tried to explain Only Lovers Left Alive to a few people at this point. It’s been a mixed success. First, don’t go into it expecting a vampire film. 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…
Indie Video Game Reset Is on Its Way
The appeal of the video game Reset, as our Editor wrote in a previous article, stems from its lush visuals, cool time-jump related game play, and an intriguing lack of details on the game’s actual plot. The teaser and later game trailer showcase these to perfection, giving its audience shots of an abandoned city, realistic…
