While the US has yet to embrace "Eat the Rich" (and it shows!), Latin America is on their fifth serving of our delectable horror film. Our Brazilian premiere will be at @CineFantasy in Sao Paulo, and a few more accolades. Tell your friends they need to put us on the menu!

A film student just reached out to me for an interview for class, and we had such a good talk. I didn't sugarcoat it, but I'm eternally optimistic that Hollywood can be better and support more sustainable careers. Let's do it.

I don’t know if this one ever made it over here. However, these titles should definitely be on your radar all year and are sick additions to your Black History Month performances to catch.
