What are some indie opinions (film, short, video game or movie) that'll have you like this?

New short! It's a weird Sci fi horror of a man's plight in by passing smart home device safety protocols.
It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of Gena Rowlands, a truly beloved figure in the world of independent film in the USA.






The subject displays blonde hair, frosty blue eyes and a seductive smile. Gena Rowlands was regarded as the preeminent figure in American independent film. Gena Rowlands is a subtle and delicate performer, a true wonder. She is forthright in her communication. Furthermore, she demonstrated an unwavering resolve. In a statement made prior to his death in 1989, director John Cassavetes asserted that Rowlands was capable of performing any role. The couple were married for over three decades, during which time Cassavetes acted as Rowland's discoverer and most ardent supporter. With the release of highly successful films such as A Woman Under the Influence (1974) and Gloria (1980), he elevated her to the status of an award-winning and Oscar-nominated star. Rowlands has now passed away at the age of 94.

the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences bestowed an honorary Academy Award upon the then 85-year-old actress in recognition of her lifetime achievements. Her son presented her with the award at the ceremony.
Over the course of her career, Rowlands was nominated on eight occasions for the most significant US television accolade, the Emmy. She was awarded the prize on three occasions: in 1987 for her performance in The Betty Ford Story, in 1992 for her role in Face of a Stranger, and in 2003 for her performance in Hysterical Blindness.








It's always worth watching old films that contain real stories that can leave you spellbound.

------”This 20 minute film is very transient of its own context, opening itself to exploration beyond cultural nuance. There was a moment where the film really allowed me to indulge in it’s meditative quality. I could almost say that I participated my emotion and attention more than the character itself.”

------“I think this film is pretty in a generic way. Some of the best dialogue came through without any words, and that felt really classic to me.”


For over a year, I’ve been working as an animator for an upcoming independent film titled “Painting In Darkness.” I’m one of several background painters who have put their effort into working on this film. This illustration is an example of what I’ve worked on. I had a lot of fun painting this (along with the other completed backgrounds). I’m looking forward to working on the upcoming background art.
This film currently has a crowdfunding page! Feel free to support the Indiegogo Crowdfunding Page so it can be completed!!

To Make a Home
Alice Li and I spent the summer of 2013 in China to create a documentary exploring the difficult process of social reintegration for those formerly hospitalized for mental illness in Beijing. Told from the perspective of three people -- a patient, his doctor and a social worker -- the film takes a deep look at the role community plays in an individual's struggle to overcome stigma, establish a sense of identity and ultimately find a home.
