"What is a world that works for everyone, what does that world look like?" Abramorama has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary film titled UnCharitable, made by filmmaker Stephen Gyllenhaal. It will be opening in theaters later in September, after playing at a few summits and conferences earlier this year already. UnCharitable is a timely and crucial documentary that uncovers the realities of philanthropy (it's bad) and introduces a radical new way of giving. In an emotional call to action, this invigorating film demands that charities be freed from traditional constraints so they can truly change the world. Featuring Dan Pallotta, Chris Anderson (CEO of Ted), Steve Nardizzi (Co-Founder of Wounded Warrior Project), Darren Walker (President of the Ford Foundation), Edward Norton (Actor & Founder of Crowdrise) and more. This actually looks really powerful and hard-hitting, not at all cheesy or sappy, it's honest and saying – things need to change,...

Newcomer to the film scene Steven Kastrissios proves with his debut feature The Horseman that you don’t need much to make a good action film. Micah Chua writes.
What do you need to pull off an action genre film in Australia? Guns? Car chases? Special effects? A buff, well-profiled action hero? A multi-million dollar budget? Not necessarily: ‘With smart, efficient storytelling, we can do pretty impressive action too,” Kastrissios told Encore.
The Horseman travels in the vein of classic Aussie thrillers such as Wolf Creek and Wake in Fright. It tells the story of a father (played by Peter Marshall- Sea Patrol) and his violent pursuit of his daughter’s murderers.
The film’s high calibre action is due in no small part to proven stunt coordinator Chris Anderson, whose credits include Peter Jackson’s King Kong and George Miller’s Mad Max.

While Steven Kastrissios' blistering revenge movie The Horseman has recently made it to DVD and Blu-ray in the U.S. and U.K., many fans of the genre back in its home country of Australia have yet to see the film in all its gory glory on the big screen.
That is slowly changing, with the film playing at Supanova Pop Culture Expo last weekend ahead of exclusive seasons at Sydney's Chauvel Cinema and the Tribal Theatre in Brisbane starting July 8.
To celebrate these much anticipated screenings, Kastrissios has sent Twitch a featurette interview with the film's stunt coordinator, legendary one-legged stuntman Chris Anderson, talking about his experiences working in films and how he brought this experience to The Horseman.
One does not drop the word "legendary" lightly, and Anderson deserves everything that word implies. Over a long career in the movies he has worked as a stuntman and...
