Touching animated short Crowboy screens at the 2025 New Jersey Film Festival on February 8th!

Recently, I read that teenagers resist reading young adult fiction but instead look for adult material, while younger children, hoping to get a peek of teenagerhood, would read about high schools and puberty. According to this cycle, it makes me wonder if adults miss the comfort of children’s fairy tales.  This may be true in a way. Occasionally, when the exhaustion from work and life pile up on a rainy day or a Friday night, it is too easy to simply want to crawl under the blanket with a mug of hot soup and watch a little something. If that’s the case for you, perhaps you’d like to watch the short, animated film Crowboy.



New Release Review - "Companion"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-02-06

There's a growing sub-genre of horror movies based around the setup of a shy and nervous young woman embarking on a getaway with a bunch of people whose company makes her feel like an outsider. As circumstances spiral violently out of control, the young woman in question finds herself in the role of a slasher movie final girl. What differentiates these movies - which includes the likes of Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, Sissy and Birdeater - from your typical spam-in-a-cabin backwoods slashers is that the threat doesn't come from some supernatural force or rapey rednecks but rather from within the friend group itself, which is usually comprised of shallow, bitchy millennials or zoomers.

New Jersey Film Festival Interview with God Teeth director Robbie C. Williamson!

God Teeth – Robbie C. Williamson (Puntaneras, Costa Rica) God Teeth is a wildly original and fantastical odyssey about four recently deceased souls who find themselves on an abandoned ship at sea. Part confessional, part elegy, the narrators must recount the circumstances which led to their untimely deaths, before a marauding gang of sting rays destroys their memories, banishing them to an eternity in purgatory. Created entirely from found internet footage, God Teeth offers the viewer a new and profound experience culled from the infinite digital world and turns it into a thought provoking, cinematic song of mourning and acceptance - The glory of life and death. Boom, a 10-year-old swimmer endeavors to make sense of the loss of her father in a world of dragons, magical sea creatures and underwater superheroes, but will she be destined to repeat history? Albert, leather clad and speeding through a tunnel, flashes back to his life wandering the streets of Hong Kong in search of desire and connection, but with an increasing sense of unease and isolation, he must finally confess to a long-held and shameful secret. Rose, an ambitious sports agent is on the cusp of experiencing a career defining moment, when out of the blue, she takes a bold left turn - with horrific and unintended consequences. Devoted family man, Campbell, speaks only in third person as he reluctantly recalls a raging forest fire that would forever change his existence, leaving him stuck atop a thousand-foot pole. 2024; 60 min.
