Spiral Farm

Questioning the world seems to be a common thread of any society whether you live in an isolated place or not. Spiral Farm follows a young girl living in an isolated community who gets a taste of the “outside world,” and finds herself yearning to escape her home. Relatable to many in every day society, this touching film makes one question the future in their own lives and what leaving one’s comfort zone means.

Krieg

Krieg is a beautiful tale of war and humanity. Written and directed by Jeff Fry, the short film has already made waves at the film festivals. When a German soldier happens upon a downed aircraft, and a wounded enemy there, he risks it all to protect the airman. His penchant for doing good rooted beyond this action, the soldier had set out to locate a radio to help prevent further killings. A story of sacrifice and the good that can be found in human nature, even in wartime, this film is one to consider this coming awards season. It will twist ones view of whom you might consider your enemy and remind one of the heroism that can be found in humankind.

Behind The Bullet

Beyond powerful, "Behind The Bullet" is a documentary that follows four different stories of four different people who were at some point “behind the bullet.” From different backgrounds and parts of the map, the moral of all of their stories is very much the same: that immense regret and sorrow can follow can follow just one shot from a gun  and how that one shot can be so very life changing. In this political climate, and with many people fighting for and against gun control law, this film proves its importance  While gun control is far from the films focus, "Behind The Bullet" explores the humanity and the human interest stories that are derived from one's life after such an encounter with just one bullet. Gun safety and education break through as main messages, as well as the understating of how life altering just one shot can be. Having premiered earlier this year at Sundance Film Festival, this moving film is already one to be considered during next year's award season.

Snapshots

In conjunction with Pride Month, a must-see film, that just so happened to premiered tonight in NYC, is one that touches upon the LGBT subject is Snapshots. Award winning "Snapshots" stars the iconic Piper Laurie and is a testament to the power of secrets. The film moves back and forth between summers 50 years apart. Three women of three different generations illustrate how times have changed as well as the strength and complexity of relationships. Revolving around an annual "girls weekend," this film is much deeper than a wine night flick. Whether gay or straight, the talented cast delivers a message about family that resonates and flips a sad tale into one that is heart-warming.

The End of the Tour Panel

Varied scenes at this past weekend's Sundance Film Festival included catching two wonderful films (first Girlhood - an incredible French film that tells a coming-of-age story about a young, unsure girl finding her place as an independent and confident woman in her low-income, gang infested community - and then The End of the Tour, the bioptic look at groundbreaking writer David Foster Wallace as he was interviewed for Rolling Stone magazine, which starred industry heavyweights Jason Segal, Jesse Eisenberg and Anna Chlumsky), an exclusive behind the scenes look at the beautiful performance-art piece (and a very special meeting with it's mastermind, Robert Redford's wife and artist Sibylle Szaggars!) The Way of the Rain,  snow shoeing amongst the beautiful scenery and racing a bobsled down the official olympic bobsledding track.

Big Thanks to Magellan Jets (which whom we wrote and article for (here) and shot a commercial with (here)) for inviting us on this adventure!
