Helmer John Asher has managed to shoot Somebody Marry me, a feature-length comedy with just one shot. Apparently the historic 98 minute film took 18 days to write and 3 weeks of rehearsal with the cast prior to shooting the whole pic without a single cut. That's quite impressive. The Kimberly Stuckwisch and Ben Milliken-produced film which was funded and produced by independent film financier Lamar Billups, is a heartwarming romantic comedy with a twist. Starring is Oscar-nominated Michael Lerner (Barton Fink) and The Soprano’s Ray Abruzzo, with a supporting cast including Annie Burgstede, Jeff Doucette and Leslie Murphy, among others. In Somebody Marry Me, David Rosenberg has just a few hours to find a woman to marry before his wealthy father gives his entire inheritance to his young spoiled stepmother. After losing his girlfriend, David posts an ad online looking for a wife and quickly finds himself in over his head.

Group of friends staying at a remote house for a little R & R find themselves trapped within the confines of their getaway as a masked killer traps them and then disposes of them.
Competently acted slasher lacks a basic understanding of how to utilize the tools that are at its disposal. Part of what makes a slasher suspenseful is that foreplay where the antagonists stalk the protagonists from afar slowly picking off victims until the characters fully discover what is going on. Instead "The Anniversary at Shallow Creek" skips all that and gets right to the action. Doing so, it missed out on opportunities to create tension. During the course of the film, the characters are trapped in one single location trying to...

When my partner at Red Road Productions, Robert Chimento, first gave me his script of Follow the Prophet I couldn't imagine that the story was based on truth - until I started reading the research. Follow the Prophet is the story about a young girl escaping from a Polygamy cult -- an edge of your seat thriller that explores how brainwashing is used to promote ritualistic underage marriage and sex offenses within polygamy cults where women and children are still living under the archaic rule that the man is the lord and master of all and must be obeyed without any further thought.

At first she escapes the clutches of her father (David Conrad) and...
