Hair stylin’ Claire (played to lunatic perfection by Najarra Townsend) is a bit… off. See, ol’ Claire has a penchant for removing the scalps of her clients and putting them on her own noggin to… live vicariously through them? Look, shes unglued, it doesn’t have to make sense… The Stylist, the debut feature from writer/director Jill Gervargizian is nothing if not, well.. stylish. Every frame of this picture is so well realized and put together that the images become works of art (and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the impressive sets utilized here as well)… this is low-budget filmmaking that looks anything but, and was put together by a true artist. Thankfully this film has more going on besides lookin’ damn good (though Satan knows that’s usually enough for yours cruelly… )!

Halloween may have already come and gone, but the folks at JoBlo Media have a treat they’ve been saving for us, my Little Monsters.

If you aren’t familiar with this “multi genre” film, written and directed by Erik Peter Carlson, allow me to enlighten you. It’s a story of two people seeking redemption: one is a fallen starlet who landed on her back (if you know what I mean), and the other a petty criminal. How exactly is redemption reckoned for these two? They hope it will be reached by teaming up in hopes of solving a high profile kidnapping case. But the absolution they seek will take them on a shadowy path

Riding Hood Motion Pictures has released a first look teaser trailer for their upcoming noir crime thriller, Wolf Mother. The film, written and directed by Erik Peter (The Toy Soldiers), stars Najarra Townsend (Contracted), Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan), Dave Vescio (Hick), newcomer Kaegan Baron ,and Kevin Pinassi of the Twin Peaks revival. In the first look trailer we watch as the film’s heroes as they hatch a plan to find and rescue Kaitlin Miller, a missing child star. The teaser explores the horror and suspense of their journey as they descend into the dark world of sex trafficking. “I’m drawn to stories that in someway are connected to the current state of mind. Stories that are happening now, in our own backyard.” Carlson stated of the film’s plot and relevancy. “Most of the time for me, they just happen to be the darker stories.” Every year over 800,000 children go missing. 400,000 of those children are victims of sex
