LIVE REVIEW: 80/35 Music Festival (Day 1)
July 11th, 2015 Matthew Leimkuehler Day 1 of 2015’s 80/35 is in the books.

July 10th, 2015 James Shotwell Film: The Gallows Starring: Reese Mishler, Pfeifer Brown Directed by: Travis Cluff, Chris Lofing 2015 may be the year I finally stop defending found footage/POV storytelling in cinema. It’s been a good run, more or less, but after witnessing the hundredth-plus remix of the same twelve ideas presented with little to no original twist whatsoever […]
