HBO’s Follow-Up True Crime Doc ‘The Jinx – Part Two’ Teaser Trailer

"This changed my perception of something I've been working on for 17 years..." HBO has unveiled a teaser trailer for a true crime documentary series "sequel" titled simply The Jinx - Part Two. This "Part Two" is a new six-episode continuation of the groundbreaking Emmy-winning documentary series "The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst," directed by filmmaker Andrew Jarecki, which debuted on HBO back in 2015. Even though Durst ended up being found guilty and went to prison, there's still more to his story. He actually ended up dying in prison in 2022 though that hasn't stopped many people being interested in his crimes. "Since then, the team behind The Jinx have continued their investigation and found more hidden material, Durst’s prison calls and new interviews." When the original series launched in 2015, it paved the way for a lot of modern true crime doc series. Now that true crime has become its own massive subgenre on streaming, HBO / Max are following up with this sequel with even more chilling revelations. I doubt they're going to reveal ...

Watch: Animated Short Film ‘Snif & Snüf’ – Two Goofs Discover Shapes

Sometimes simple is better. You don't even need any dialogue to tell a story! This amusing new short film is once again an example of the great power of visual storytelling. Snif & Snüf is a 5-minute animated short created by filmmaker / animator Michael Ruocco. He works in the animation industry in Los Angeles as a storyboard artist / animator and dabbles in filmmaking every once in a while with his own shorts (like this one!). This clever Looney Tunes-esque film is about two goofball characters who discover an interesting new object, and learn about what it means to share. It premiered last year and played at a few film festivals and is now online for everyone to enjoy. A nice review on YouTube really says it best: "This feels like it could've come out 60 years ago and stood with the giants, but feels just as fun and relevant coming out today." Enjoy. Thanks to everyone on Twitter for the tip on this short. Brief intro direct from YouTube: "Two characters discover an interesting new object, and learn about ...
