Neptune Frost- VOD                        https://youtu.be/XBsrqrYemMM

NEPTUNE FROST Multi-hyphenate, multidisciplinary artist Saul Williams brings his unique dynamism to this Afrofuturist vision, a sci-fi punk musical that’s a visually wondrous amalgamation of themes, ideas, and songs that Williams has explored in his work, notably his 2016 album MartyrLoserKing. Co-directed with his partner, the Rwandan-born artist and cinematographer Anisia Uzeyman, the film takes place in the hilltops of Burundi, where a group of escaped coltan miners form an anti-colonialist computer hacker collective. From their camp in an otherworldly e-waste dump, they attempt a takeover of the authoritarian regime exploiting the region’s natural resources – and its people. When an intersex runaway and an escaped coltan miner find each other through cosmic forces, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry. Set between states of being – past and present, dream and waking life, colonized and free, male and female, memory and prescience.

Coming Apart- Blu-ray

COMING APART Rip Torn (Men in Black) gives one of the great screen performances as a psychiatrist secretly filming his own mental breakdown in Milton Moses Ginsberg’s classic exploration of dark eroticism and self-referential cinematic form. Anticipating the cell phone diaries of today, the entire film is shot through a mirror from a single hidden camera in a one-room apartment. Over the course of several personal encounters, Joe becomes a voyeur of his own reflection, documenting his own emotional disintegration. Although entirely scripted, this fierce, frank, and explicit film seems improvised. The acting is so explosive it seems uncontrolled and the sex scenes have been described as real and pornographic. In dramatic opposition to Hollywood’s narrative filmmaking aesthetic, Ginsberg calls attention to the presence of the camera, abandoning cinema’s “omniscent eye” for a deliberately conscious “camera eye.” Truly ahead of its time, Coming Apart remains a visionary and transformative piece of American cinema.

The Most Hated Man on the Internet- Netflix

THE MOST HATED MAN ON THE INTERNET Hunter Moore was a self-proclaimed “professional life ruiner” who found fame in the early 2010s by founding IsAnyoneUp.com, a notorious revenge porn hub.

Sextortion: The Hidden Pandemic – VOD      https://youtu.be/nmb9OEo_UvU

SEXTORTION: THE HIDDEN PANDEMIC  By interviewing survivors and their parents, this true crime piece exposes this fastest growing crime against children, the tactics of online predators, and the voices of parents and law enforcement poised to stop online child exploitation in its tracks. It’s the hardest documentary I have ever made. The extremely disturbing subject matter, combined with the challenges of filming during the pandemic made making this film almost an impossible task. The stories of survivors have opened my eyes to the severity and cruelty of this crime, especially the psychological long-term effects on the children and their futures. It is my hope that in the same way, the eyes of the viewers will be opened – and awareness, education and civil action will become the result of this film. states director Maria Peek.
