    Fantasia 2020 - #ShakespearesShitstorm - Lloyd Kaufman’s interview

    25 years after Tromeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare's The Tempest becomes: #ShakespearesShitstorm a supreme satire with Kaufman sauce of this best of worlds, intolerant of different opinions, allergic to micro-aggressions and complaining excessively. Here comes back our dear uncle Lloyd and his gang of Tromanarchists, who give a well-deserved finger of honour to the ambient hyper-hypocrisy, and who laughs in the face of the United States of Decency. A hurricane of madness, a filmic...

    Fantasia 2020 : Clapboard jungle - Justin McConnell’s interview

    Clapboard Jungle is an unvarnished chronicle, with Justin McConnell not hesitating to show his disappointments and moments of doubt during the long and arduous journey of film production.

    Fantasia 2020 : Lucky : Interview with Natasha Kermani, Kausar Mohammed and Dhruv Uday Singh

Her self-help books aren't selling as well as they used to, and one night a masked intruder breaks into the house she shares with her husband Ted (Dhruv Uday Singh). Worse, Ted is curiously unconcerned about the incident, speaking nonchalantly as if she just has to accept it, while an investigator says she is lucky she got away with it. To add insult to injury, the assailant reappears again and again, continuing to terrorize...

    Fantasia 2020 : Survival Skills – Quinn Armstrong ‘s interview

    Writer-director Quinn Armstrong’s feature debut, expanded from his 2017 short, is simultaneously a throwback to a bygone age and very much a film for today. Drawing from the wild VHS heyday of law-enforcement training videos like “Surviving Edged Weapons”, “Satanic Ritual Abuse”, and “Reality Check”, Armstrong builds a comedically wholesome world of scan lines, Americana, and educational-film naiveté, before shattering...

    Fantasia 2020 : The mortuary collection- Ryan Spindell’s press roundtable

    At Raven’s End Mortuary, Montgomery Dark (Clancy Brown) presides over the funeral rites of corpses whose histories he keeps recorded in the countless books on his shelves. One day, a young woman named Sam (Caitlin Fisher) answers his Help Wanted sign, and her curiosity about death and his past “clients” leads him to relate a few of the most bizarre tales. As the stories come to life on screen, we witness a pickpocket receiving her comeuppance; a...
