Brea Grant, at least for me, first came to prominence after appearing in Heroes, the mid-2000s superhero show that took the world by storm for about a season but never truly recovering post-writers strike. Since then she’s appeared in a number of other genre shows and movies, including The Guild, Game Shop, Worry Dolls and Beyond the Gates. However alongside her acting roles Grant has been slowing progressing as both writer and director; and this year she has not one but two genre films under her belt – writing and starring in Lucky; and writing and directing this hospital-set horror, 12 Hour Shift.

This darkly comic riff on the legend of hospital organ trafficking hinges on Angela Bettis’ wonderfully dry performance as an opioid-addicted nurse
In the 90s, everyone had heard the urban myth about black-market organ trading: the story of the poor chump who went to a party and woke up in a bath of ice minus a kidney. Now, with this blackly funny, cheerfully violent bad-taste comedy-horror, director Brea Grant riffs on the legend. Her film is set in 1999 in the ER unit of an Arkansas hospital where one of the nurses, Mandy (Angela Bettis), runs a side hustle in organ trafficking. Whenever a patient who is unlikely to make it is wheeled in, she earmarks them for harvest – and has even been known to nudge victims along with an injection of bleach.
Mandy arrives for the night shift dead exhausted. Patients assume that she is overworked, but the truth is...

Nikea Gamby-Turner’s career is an excellent example of just how much hard work can pay off. Nikea has been doing her thing as a professional actress for almost a decade and a half. During that time, she has been cast in more than two dozen roles. Many of her appearances have been relatively minor, but she had a recurring role in the popular series Rosewood. Most of her work up until this point has been in TV shows, but it looks like a film role might just be what ends up getting her the most recognition. She has a main
