I Killed My Mother Trailer

"We love our mothers almost unknowingly, unconsciously, and we fully realise how deep-rooted that love is when we come to the last separation." Guy de Maupassant

Hubert Minel doesn’t love his mother. The seventeen-year-old regards her with haughty contempt, and sees only her dated sweaters, kitsch decorations and the breadcrumbs that get stuck on the corner of her lips when she munches. In addition to these irritating surface details, there are also the cherished family mechanisms of manipulation and guilt. Confused by a love/hate relationship which obsesses him more and more each day, and desperate to escape the suffocating atmosphere of his mother’s working-class, suburban home, Hubert drifts through the mysteries of an adolescence both marginal and typical: artistic discoveries, illicit experiences, the opening-up to friendship, sex, and ostracism.

The directing debut of young French-Canadian actor Xavier Dolan is a cathartic, fiercely compelling evocation of turbulent late adolescence. Visually stunning, with exquisite performances from Dolan himself – as the volatile, verbally savage Hubert – and a highly acclaimed cast including Anne Dorval and Suzanne Clément, 'I Killed My Mother' was the winner of 22 international film awards in 2009, including three categories at Cannes.

Release Date: 12 September, 2011

Creepy The Woman in Black Teaser Trailer

During afternoon tea there is a shift in the air,

A bone trembling chill that tells you she’s there,

There are those who believe that the whole town is cursed,

That the house in the marsh is by far the worst,

What she wants is unknown but she always comes back,

The spectre of darkness, The Woman in Black.

Working alone in the old mansion, Kipps begins to uncover the town's tragic and tortured secrets and his fears escalate when he discovers that local children have been disappearing under mysterious circumstances. When those closest to him become threatened by the vengeful woman in black, Kipps must find a way to break the cycle of terror.

THE WOMAN IN BLACK also stars Ciaran Hinds (TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY) and Janet McTeer (TUMBLEWEEDS), was adapted from Susan Hill's novel for the screen by Jane Goldman (KICK ASS) and directed by James Watkins (EDEN LAKE).

Wreckage Trailer

An automobile wrecking yard after dark provides the perfect location for a nail-biting slasher with a killer twist in Wreckage, directed by John Mallory Asher (One Tree Hill; Dirty Love) and featuring an attractive cast of young up-and-coming talent that includes Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad; Big Love; The Last House On The Left), Scoot McNairy (Monsters), Cameron Richardson (Harper’s Island; Point Pleasant), Kelly Kruger (Mysterious Skin; The Young And The Restless) and Mike Erwin (Chaos Theory).

When their car’s fan belt snaps during a drag race on a county road several miles outside their home town, best friends Jared (Erwin), Kate (Richardson), Rick (Paul), and Jessica (Kruger) find themselves stranded with two options: walk all the way back home or try their luck on finding a spare belt at a nearby scrap yard. Choosing the latter, but arriving after nightfall and finding the yard closed, they decide to climb the gate and go in search of the required part. Their situation goes from mildly inconvenient to seriously lethal in an instant when Rick’s careless horseplay with a loaded pistol leaves Kate wounded and in desperate need of medical attention.

Meanwhile, the local sheriff’s office has just received notification that a serial killer has escaped from the state prison and is thought to be hiding out somewhere in the area. Alerted to the situation at the wrecking yard by Jared, the police and ambulance crew arrive on the scene but can find no immediate sign of Rick, Jessica or the injured Kate. Moments later, the discovery of a mutilated body places Jared in the frame as the prime suspect in a murder investigation and leads to a long night of bloodshed and mayhem as a mysterious killer stalks the yard determined to slay everyone and leave no witnesses.

Release Date: On DVD 22nd August 2011.

THE ESTABLISHING SHOT:YOUTUBE VETS BRING TOGETHER FANS AND INDUSTRY CREATIVES LIKE NEVER BEFORE

Indie Filmmakers Use KICKSTARTER to Garner Start-Up Funds for Comedy Feature “SPORTS FANS”

Hollywood, CA – Indie Filmmakers Jason Horton and Adam Rudder are
creating a new breed of partnership, combining the forces of their
millions of YouTube fans and a ‘dream team’ of experts and industry
veterans to bring their buddy-comedy “SPORTS FANS” to the big screen.

With distribution already in place, Horton and Rudder are literally
turning their loyal fans, sports lovers and YouTube subscribers into
film financiers, using the crowdfunding site Kickstarter to acquire
start-up funds necessary to attach key name talent. The young
filmmakers have already created strategic industry alliances with over
40 major feature film credits under their belt to keep the project
moving and solidify the additional financing for the project.

These collaborations include Mark Koesterer and his Sports Studio
Ventures, Hollywood’s premiere consultant for scripted sports content,
which is co-owned by Jack Giarraputo’s Happy Madison Productions. Also
involved are: Mark Ellis, who has directed and coached Oscar winning
actors and Hall of Fame athletes in over 30 movies grossing more than
one billion dollars at the box office; sports agent Doug Schaer and
his Silent Partner Media (SPM), a niche, creative and strategic
marketing firm, which connects properties within the sports,
entertainment and music industries; and Dave Hickey, former Promenade
Pictures Vice President of Development and Acquisitions; and
additional key industry associations to be announced at a later date.

While other indie filmmakers have turned to the public to raise money,
none have had this many assets attached or been as ambitious. Using
this blueprint of funding and affiliations, Horton and Rudder are
trailblazing a new wave of filmmaking that could revolutionize the way
indie films are made. “We feel honored that everyone believes so much
in the project that they have agreed to come on board before we have
any money to pay them,” Rudder said.

Horton and Rudder are also working with a talented team of YouTube
heavy-hitters, including MysteryGuitarMan, Jenna Marbles, Elie
Seckbach (ESNEWS), Nikki Limo, and SupRicky06, who rake in millions of
views on their popular YouTube channels.

“Sports Fans” follows two die-hard fantasy baseball geeks as they road
trip across the country, visiting baseball’s most renowned stadiums in
search of autographs. Along the way, they untangle a love triangle and
get caught up in misadventures with major sports figures. Described as
baseball’s version of “The Hangover”, this rip-roaring road trip buddy
comedy celebrates baseball and its fan culture. One reader at a major
network said it was one of the “strongest female characters” she has
read in a long time. A major producer called it “one of the best
scripts” he has seen on his desk.

Jason Horton is an actor/writer/comedian who regularly performs sketch
and improv comedy and has been seen in over 150 million-viewed videos
on YouTube. He is a Staff Writer and content creator for Maker
Studios and continues to act in and write for popular YouTube channels
Totally Sketch & The Station. He also writes and develops for Rogue
Pictures IamRogue.com. Horton is represented by Dana Wickens (phone:
310-417-4877 / email: Dana@levityent.com).

Adam Rudder is an independent filmmaker, screenwriter and founder of
Moocha Pictures, which is the primary production company for “Sports
Fans.” Previously, Rudder served as a Production Manager for Disney’s
“Oceans,” the highest budgeted ‘natural film’ of all time, 1st AD for
the feature film “Refuge From a Storm” starring Michael Madsen,
Producer of the feature “Pushing Thirty,” and Director/Producer of a
dark-comedy web series. Before specializing in film and more recently,
social media, Rudder spent over 10 years honing his skills as an Event
Planner/Music Promoter and co-founder of the non-profit EcoAid
Productions. Rudder can be reached at: info@moochapictures.com.

“Sports Fans” is set to launch its 30-day fundraising campaign on
Kickstarter on Tuesday, August 23, 2011.

Trailer for British Independent Feature Making Ugly

What lies behind the dark bonds that link seemingly disparate characters and the horrible crimes committed when no one is really looking?

Making Ugly is a provocative, dark thriller, the debut feature film of writer/director Andrew Niblo. Making Ugly features an impressive Scottish and English ensemble cast of rising stars from UK theatre and television. Already tagged as “the next great gritty British thriller” Making Ugly is a powerful experience that will keep you guessing from start to finish.

Making Ugly follows the tales of three captivating characters on a sinister journey. As the worlds they know are changing and crumbling around them, they too transform in ways that you would never expect.

Neil (Paul Quinn) is a tormented, exiled family man with a secret. Heather (Margaret Ann Bain) is a woman on the edge and about to discover her own terrifying strength. When the mysterious Stark (Jamie Jack Gordon) enters their lives he lures them into an ugly world of mystery and deceit. No one can be trusted when you are Making Ugly.

Behind the scenes the uniqueness of Making Ugly lies in the manner it was produced. From the initial stages of development, the producers faced the challenge of realising Andrew Niblo's vision and securing the necessary cast, crew, equipment and locations usually seen in mid-budget films with extremely limited funds. Through ingenious strategies and sheer determination, Mara Adina and Dara Carroll completed Making Ugly on the incredibly low budget of £7,000.

Release Date: Making Ugly is currently seeking Distribution

The Taqwacores Trailer

Shot on an ultra-low budget, THE TAQWACORES is independent film-making at its very best. Directed by Eyad Zahra, with music from American Muslim punk band The Kominas and starring a hip, young cast including Bobby Naderi, Noureen de Wulf and Dominic Rains, THE TAQWACORES is a thought-provoking and insurrectionary tale that will not just appeal to fans of Punk music but anyone who wants a fascinating insight into Muslim youth in the western world or who remembers what it is like to be a teenager.

Yusef (Bobby Naderi) a first-generation Pakistani engineering student, moves off-campus with a group of Muslim punks in Buffalo, New York. His new “unorthodox” housemates soon introduce him to Taqwacore - a hardcore, Muslim punk rock scene that only exists on the West Coast.

As the seasons change, Taqwacore influences the house more and more. The living room becomes a mosque during the day, while it continues to host punk parties at night. Ultimately, Taqwacore influences Yusef too, as he begins to challenge his own faith and ideologies.

THE TAQWACORES deals with the complexities of being young and Muslim in modern-day America and smells achingly cool of teen spirit.


Described as the “Catcher in the Rye” for American Muslims and based on the cult Los Angeles novel by Michael Mohammad Knight which was originally handed out free in parking lots in America, THE TAQWACORES (15) is set to open at UK cinemas on 12th August at Empire Leicester Square plus key cities.

Director: Eyad Zahra
Writers: Eyad Zahra (screenplay), Michael Muhammad Knight (screenplay)

The Establishing Shot: THE HUNGER GAMES TEASER POSTERPoster

In a not-too-distant future, the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch.

When 16-year-old Katniss' young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, the son of the town baker who seems to have all the fighting skills of a lump of bread dough, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives.

Wagner Moura is Captain Nascimento, commander-in-chief of Rio de Janeiro’s BOPE (Special Police Operations Battalion), later promoted to sub-Secretary of Security for the State. After a disastrous operation on a prison riot, Nascimento gets caught in a bloody political dispute that involves not only government officials, but also deadly paramilitary groups known as the militias. Nascimento quickly emerges as victim of his own success – in tackling Rio’s drug gangs, he creates a vacuum filled by protection rackets supported by corrupt police.

Dismantling the complex web of allegiances is a job made all the more dangerous by Nascimento’s realisation that the very people that he should be able to rely on to support his mission could be his deadliest enemies. Adding to this professional challenge are his troubles at home, as Nasciemento’s ex-wife is now married to the newly elected State Representative, and his thirteen year old son is becoming increasingly estranged from his intense and emotionally distant father. However, soon enough, his professional and personal life violently collide as he realises his work attracts danger to his family.
