The Bad Samaritan Must Die!
A good deed goes horribly wrong when an unsuspecting man is pulled into a deadly web of crime and betrayal. Soon he’s hunted by ruthless gangsters and corrupt officials determined to silence him. Gary Colman stands out as Superintendent Donald, adding tension to the gritty thriller that also stars Dan Morgan and Leo Gregory. The Bad Samaritan Must Die! is a hard-edged indie action film where survival means fighting fire with fire.
Dejan Tyler: Get Rich Or Diabetes
Get Rich or Diabetes gives snapshots of real life, for real people, rendered in ridiculous scenarios. Celebrating the lower-middle class with sharp, detailed, flavorful writing Dejan Tyler elevates living "on the come up", being broke, getting by, into rich, textured hilarity. Real funny, real authentic, real inspired; an unflinching, unassuming, and unrelenting good time.
The Rink
Charlie Chaplin’s beloved Tramp takes a job as a clumsy waiter by day and becomes a surprisingly graceful skater by night. Packed with slapstick chaos, mistaken identities, and Chaplin’s legendary roller-skating antics, The Rink is one of his most iconic silent comedies. Co-starring Edna Purviance and Eric Campbell, this short blends humor, charm, and physical brilliance in a way only Chaplin could, cementing its place as a timeless favorite.
Agalmatophilia
This provocative indie drama explores an unusual fixation: the emotional and physical attraction to mannequins. Blurring the line between fantasy and reality, it follows a character whose private desires clash with a longing for genuine human connection. With an experimental style and haunting tone, the film examines intimacy, obsession, and the limits of love.
