  A devout priest welcomes a struggling couple into his house at Christmas time. What begins as a simple act of kindness quickly becomes the ultimate test of faith once the sanctity of his home is jeopardized. Starring: Graham Skipper, Jeremy Gardner, and Taylor Gardner Directed and written by: Eric Pennycoff   An unwanted house guest might be described well as the “The Leech.” Father David (Graham Skipper) is about to close the church for the day when he finds a man sleeping inside. He sends him outside only to soon find out he has no where to go. Trying to do the right thing, the Father invites Terry (Jeremy Gardner) to stay with him.   Terry quickly proves to be tough to live with, and things get that more complicated when his girlfriend Lexi (Taylor Gardner) shows up. Father David opens his doors to her too with the hopes of bringing some religion into their lives. This ends up being a bigger challenge then he thought, and will test his own faith in the process. Who w...

A workplace robot, AUTO, transforms into a killing machine when he discovers he will be replaced by a more efficient model. Starring: Elissa Dowling, Parry Shen, Graham Skipper, Sarah French, and Sadie Katz Directed by: Garo Setian Written by: Garo Setian, Rolfe Kanefsky, and Matthew L. Schaffer   It’s clear times are changing, and workers are getting replaced all the time. First it was older workers getting replaced by young ones, and now computers are replacing workers of all ages. Skip ahead to the future, like in “Automation,” where robots are starting to take the place of people. No one is ever happy about it, and the robots won’t be either when it’s their time.   Enter AUTO, the only robot employed at Alert Insulation. He’s capable of doing a lot of the heavy lifting, but spends most of his time engaging in conversation to learn more about human behavior. He seems to have found a friend in a contracted employee named Jenny (Elissa Dowling). While...

Zack Connors and Rachel Meadows were born with incredible psychokinetic capabilities. When word of their supernatural talents gets out, they find themselves the prisoners of Michael Slovak, a deranged doctor intent on harvesting their powers. After a daring escape, they are free from his sinister institution, but the corrupt doctor will stop at nothing to track them down so that he may continue to siphon their gifts for his own use. Starring: Graham Skipper, Lauren Ashley Carter, and John Speredakos Directed and written by: Joe Begos   Sometimes horror can be down right fun to watch, and that’s the case with “The Mind’s Eye.” The audience might expect a fun movie is coming their way because it opens with a disclaimer that “This film should be played loud.” Yes, it’s loud, really loud! It turns out to work perfectly with the feel of the movie, and particularly well in the action scenes.   Speaking of action, there’s no storage of it. Right off the bat, Zack...
