John Turturro writes and directs his fifth film, Fading Gigolo, and weaves an interesting narrative to say the very least. In short, Fading Gigolo is about John Turturro and Woody Allen playing, no joke, “a pimp and a prostitute.” Let that sink in, because you probably won’t believe it until you see it. No, this is not a ’70s revival film, nor is it a wacky Austin Powers inspired narrative. This is quite a sophisticated, upscale, and frank story about people looking for a connection, and a very particular one at that. With ‘Giggilo’ in the title, one might think that connection means sex and all the escapades that go…

Video Interview…’Locke’ Writer/Director Steven Knight
The latest brilliant cinematic offering from across the pond is the Steven Knight drama Locke. Both written and directed by Knight, Locke tells the story of a man who in one night must decide between a myriad of jeopardies. Knight, known for penning Eastern Promises and Dirty Pretty Things, crafts and then directs Hardy in this dramatic one man tour de force. It’s a stunning film, one that blurs the line between cinema and theater, and even more stunning is the conception and execution of Knight’s gripping narrative. A masterpiece of writing and acting, the film is as impacting as it is riveting but also it deserves to be lauded…

G-S-T Review…Locke
Steven Knight (writer Eastern Promises, Dirty Pretty Things) writes and directs this gripping one man show starring: everyone’s favorite screen sociopath, Tom Hardy. It’s a film reminiscent of the 2010 Ryan Reynolds film, Buried, in that it’s all about Tom Hardy, and revolves around a single important moment in his life. The film is simply about a man trying to make amends for one mistake, yet in attempting to set this one thing right, he’s at risk of losing everything else he has going for him. It’s an impressive character study. Some can argue the merits for and against his decisions at length, yet at the end of the day, right or wrong, what Ivan…

[USAFF Review]…Frontera
Michael Berry, an actor and stage performer in a past life, comes out of nowhere with his directorial debut Frontera. A gripping drama, his passion project follows on the heels of just two short films, award winning though they may be. Frontera is an emotionally gripping narrative about a family in Mexico struggling to make it to America, by any means necessary, and it is as taut as it is sobering. Over the course of the film each of the characters deal with extreme hardships – the family of immigrants deal with problems crossing the border (difficulties finding a guide, coming up with the money, putting trust in someone they…
