First Teaser for ‘Parish’ Series feat. Giancarlo Esposito as a Taxi Driver

"I'm tired of being a passenger in my own life!" AMC has revealed a teaser trailer for a thriller series called Parish, arriving for streaming in 2024. It's a US update on the British mini-series The Driver from 2014, with a similar premise. AMC's quick synopsis only introduces it as: "Quit being a passenger in your own life and take back control." The series actually follows a taxi driver whose life is turned upside down when he agrees to pick-up a Zimbabwean gangster known for exploiting many undocumented immigrants at the U.S. southern ports. Giancarlo Esposito stars in this series as "the driver" who decides to get revenge. The full cast also includes Arica Himmel, Paula Malcomson, Ivan Mbakop, Bonnie Mbuli, Zackary Momo, Dax Rey, and Skeet Ulrich. There's barely 30 seconds in this teaser, but it's enough to get your attention, setting the intense tone with Esposito looking extremely pissed off. Time for him to take control! Drive on.

Many films have centered around the events…

"The greatest locomotive around! Linus, our hero!" This wonderful animated short film is now available to view online after a successful film festival run earlier this year. Give it a watch! The Brave Locomotive is a delightful 7-minute animated short created by the animation filmmaker Andrew Chesworth, who has worked on Disney & Netflix movies. Produced and developed entirely on his own as a fun little side project, it's now qualified for Academy Awards consideration in 2024 after winning Best Animation at L.A. Shorts Film Festival. It's an animated tale of an old locomotive train in the early days of America's expansion - an "Old West musical tale with 1940s flair." Featuring the singers known as The Dollys performing the songs - Kari Shaw Akers, Andra Suchy, and Morgana Hasil. With Drew Jansen as The Railroad Baron. This short is so playful and authentic and heartfelt and amusing. I love all the little details in the animation and storytelling, especially the engineer Henry who just loves his little locomotive friend. This is a real gem. 🚂 Thanks to Twitter for the ...
