THE OMICRON KILLER now digitally available on Fandango at Home. A copycat serial killer commits murder on the anniversary of the death of the original killer and decides to stop killing. Why? Who knows!?!?! He is subsequently mugged…
SHE’S CLEAN contains nudity and scenes of a sexual nature and is intended for mature audiences only. Says Star Jenn Harris: “I wanted to explore intimacy, intimate relations and sex on film in a way that I hadn’t seen captured before, with a female character in her sexual prime engaging in intimacy and sex without commenting on it, excusing it, or making fun of it. Intimacy is deeply nuanced and I feel most filmmaking has been afraid of that nuance so they resort to exploitation or silliness.”

Brave New Films in its latest video release delves into former President Donald Trump’s frequent claims and allegations about crime waves in America’s major cities. The crime waves, of course, don’t exist, though right-wing and extreme right wing news media, insist they do. The Trump administration was marred by a staggering number of criminal activities.
From corruption and fraud to obstruction of justice, Brave New Films explore the numerous legal challenges and scandals that plagued Trump and his inner circle. BNF wants people to discover how Trump’s rhetoric about urban crime deflects from the real wave of criminality that swept through the White House during his tenure – and, yet, reverberates still.
Please Note: WORD Editor-Publisher’s position is that Trump is a racist, sexist, homophobic, miscreant and sociopath. There are way too many, he believes, who are way to nonchalant about his racism, sexism, homophobia and antisocial personality disorder.
About Brave New Films: Robert Greenwald and BNF create free documentary films that inform the public, challenge corporate media, and motivate people to take action on social issues nationwide. Brave New Films’ investigative films have shined a light on the Bush, Obama and Trump administration, voter suppression, U.S. drone strikes, the prosecution of whistleblowers and Walmart’s corporate practices.
BNF’s mission is to champion social justice issues by using a model of media, education, and grassroots volunteer involvement that inspires, empowers, motivates and teaches civic participation and makes a difference.

“PURE O is about mental health, and yet so much more. It tackles a litany of universal issues we all face – grief, coming-of-age, loss, addiction, intrapersonal growth, redemption and the power of social connection.,” writes Director Dillon Tucker about his semi-auto biographical memoir.
“I hope the audience walks away feeling closer to others and also themselves OCD thoughts are just normal thoughts that get misinterpreted. There is an opportunity with this film to show the world what OCD really looks like. To show those who suffer that receiving an OCD diagnosis doesn’t mean your life is over. And to show everyone else that we all need the help of other people.” Article and Review by Gregg W. Morris.
“Well, I do think that this film is about an issue that of course, will outlast us, right? We are just links in a long chain of films, literally. There are other films that are about this issue that are in my film. I gave them homage and put clips in our film to show that we weren’t the first. We will not be the last. This is a forever problem in some ways,” says Director Hadley Austin in here interview with WORD Editor-Reviewer Gregg W. Morris.

Talk about Jungian Synchronicity (events are chance occurrences from a statistical point of view, but meaningful in that they may seem to validate paranormal ideas) and with April 5, 2024 “Breaking News” headlines about President Biden and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s phone chat-chat, timing couldn’t be better. – Article by WORD editor Gregg W.

This film short will wet cinematic appetites. The feature that this reviewer suspects is in the works could be a mindbender.

Reid Davenport:“All of the footage in I DIDN’T SEE YOU THERE is shot by me from my literal point-of-view. The motivation for this is twofold: 1, to jar viewers with shots from a camera held by my spastic body or mounted to my wheelchair, and, 2, to unequivocally rebuke the norm of disabled people being seen and not heard In this film, viewers listen to my voiceover without ever seeing the entirety of my face.”
