Generally I get bored during horror movies and find that they take themselves way to seriously. Well today you lucky readers can preview the trailers to two indie horror flicks that obviously do [...]

Published by dwhitney under Indie Movies, Up and Coming

Bonsai: The Karate Kid Documentary

Published by dwhitney under Indie Movies, Multimedia

All famous directors started with a super 8 or VHS camcorder in their backyard filming their younger siblings, or maybe even their dog, in costume playing the part of some sort of action hero.

Dear Zachary Headed to the Small Screen

Published by dwhitney under Indie Movies, Up and Coming
