    Fantasia 2020 : Lucky, International Premiere

    Author May Ryer (Brea Grant) has been out of luck lately. 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).

    Fantasia 2020 : The Columnist, North American Premiere

    With a premise so ripe in this modern age that we are, quite frankly, surprised it's taken so long for someone to make it, THE COLUMNIST proves it's definitely been worth the wait. Director Ivo van Aart and writer Daan Windhorst know that this story needs to be handled with both wit and sheer terror, and they've pulled it off beautifully, making a rare socially conscious (and deliciously fun) revenge thriller. Anchoring it perfectly is Herbers, terrific as the writer you didn’t...
