Award-Winning Film “Insomnium” Arrives On VOD This June

Following increasingly disturbing behavior, a man begins to suspect that his roommate may be under the influence of a dark entity in writer-director Scott Powers‘ award-winning film Insomnium. In the film, longtime buddies, George (Brad Pennington) and Phinneas (Clint Browning) share an apartment in Los Angeles. It’s a duplex, with their Russian landlord, Mr. Romanovsky (Leon Shparaga) living in the upstairs unit. George has returned to the apartment (atop an almost insurmountable flight of outdoor stairs) with injuries to one leg and one arm, rendering him basically immobile. His girlfriend Kim (Gena Shaw) and her friend Olivia (Larena Reyna) join the two boys on George’s first night home. After some drinking and relaxing, they bring out an Ouija board, and things quickly go south. That night, Phinneas begins to exhibit bizarre behavior, and the journey begins. Insomnium is set to hit VOD (Vimeo, Amazon, iTunes, etc.) on Tuesday, June 18th.

Movie Review: Rondo (2018)

Rondo begins with Paul (Luke Sorge), a PTSD suffering ex-combat vet and alcoholic, getting chastised by his sister cum caretaker Jill (Brenna Otts) who ends up sending him to a therapist (Gena Shaw) who unbelievably recommends that he keeps drinking, and prescribes him a rather unorthodox treatment; namely attending a very bizarre sex party with very specific rules…and an end result for each participant that isn’t quite what one would expect. Paul naturallt decides to exit stage left from the whole affair which results in a different kind of orgy…one of violence that at the film’s half way point changes the paradigm of the story completely…and not in a way you would ever guess! As you can surmise, Rondo is a film packed with twists and surprises, and while that results in an edge-of-you-seat, unpredictable thrill ride for the viewer it makes my job excruciatingly difficult because I can’t discuss the reasons why this film is so amazing without giving

‘Rondo’ Trailer Is Filled With Sex, Murder, And Revenge

Writer-director Drew Barnhardt recently announced that his upcoming film Rondo has been completed. Compared to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, Rondo has been described as “a sexy, funny, and distinctly modern update to the suspense thriller.” In the film, “Paul, a troubled veteran, is given a special prescription that opens a door to a world of sex, murder, and revenge.“ There’s one rule in Rondo, “stay on the plastic”. Filmed in Denver, Colorado, the thriller is filled with dark comedy and stars Gena Shaw, Brenna Otts, Iva Nora, Reggie De Morton, Ketrick “Jazz” Copeland, Kevin Sean Ryan, Luke Sorge, Grant Leibowitz, and Meegan Kiefel. Guy Clark (Pure Bliss) produced with Corey Arnold and Eileen Bernhardt serving as co-producers.
