"What do you mean, like, everything?" Would you freak out if your entire internet history and data archives were leaked online? How bad would it be? This very awkward, very dark comedy short called See Saw is about that happening. See Saw is an 11-minute short film written and directed by filmmaker Matt Porter. He's made tons of other shorts and a feature before this, but cooked up this one to make everyone feel extra paranoid about their online presence and potential hacks / leaks. Lock down all your data, folks! And make sure if it ever does leak, your life isn't ruined. Though perhaps it's inevitable nowadays? This stars David Brown as Glenn Harriston and Sierra Katow as his girlfriend. Matt reminds everyone: "put a post-it over your webcam and enjoy!" Is it wrong if I wanted to see exactly what from all his data was going viral? Ha ha. Thanks to Short of the Week for the tip on this short debuting online. Here's the very brief intro to the film from YouTube: "Glenn wakes up to discover that ...

"We have to see loneliness as a threat to our health security." Abramorama has debuted the full trailer for a documentary film titled Join or Die, which is a rather ominous title for a doc. This important film centers on America's civic unraveling through the journey of scientist Robert Putnam (aka Bob), whose research on the decline in American community lights a path out of our democracy's present crisis. It first premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival last year, playing at the Boston, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Tallgrass, Tuscon, and Denver Film Festivals as well. Putnam is a renowned social scientist and the Malkin Research Professor of Public Policy at Harvard University. He describes this as a "film about why you should join a club... and why the fate of America depends on it." It is an examination of how the decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy's present crisis. Americans are getting more and more lonely, and less connected, and that's affecting our social & mental health and much more. It sounds like a must watch. Here's ...

“In a Violent Nature” delivers a Whitman’s sampler of horror tropes. Cabin the woods? Check. Attractive young woman in swimsuits? Check. Characters making the dumbest moves possible? Yup. A masked killer with a creepy backstory? You betcha. The twist? Much of the movie is shot from the killer’s perspective. That sets the ultra-glory film apart …

"What was it all for...?" Well Go USA has revealed a new trailer for another intense war movie titled Before Dawn, an Australian production made by Australian filmmaker Jordon Prince-Wright. Not to be confused with Werner Herzog's classic Rescue Dawn (the story of Dieter Dengler). After first opening Down Under in April, this hits VOD in the US in July. Before Dawn is the journey of fictional Western Australia outback kid Jim Collins and his battalion on the Western Front during World War I. He joins up eager to fight, only to discover the brutal realities of trench warfare. Of course. Starring Levi Miller (from A Wrinkle in Time) as Jim, with Travis Jeffery, Myles Pollard, Tim Franklin, Jordan Dulieu, introducing Peter Sullivan, with Ed Oxenbould & Stephen Peacocke. How many of these "war is hell" movies do they need to make? This is really All Quiet on the Western Front or 1917 all over again, but not nearly as good as either of those. Here's the official trailer (+ posters) for Jordon Prince-Wright's film Before Dawn, direct from YouTube: After leaving ...
