We've prepared a poster promoting our film, Fell In Love With Fire, which documents the uprising that swept Chile from October 2019 to March 2020. The film shows how everyday people sustained six months of rebellion by creating extensive networks of self-determination and mutual aid.

You could use this poster to promote a screening in your community.

You can view the film here:

“Thanks, Chuck.”

The first trailer for The Life of Chuck — an adaptation of a Stephen King short story from Haunting of Hill House creator Mike Flanagan — doesn’t show much, but it does a good job at teasing heartwarming post-apocalyptic ghost story (you read that right). The film hits theaters in the summer, but if you’re curious, here’s my review from TIFF last year.
