Filmmaker Rodrigo Cortés did not shy away from difficulty or ambition with Love Gets A Room. Set in 1942 Warsaw, the narrative centers on Stefcia (Clara Rugaard) and her fellow Jewish theatre actors as they struggle to stay on the stage. The play must go on, even if the Nazis are a part of the audience. Cortés talked about his resonant and breathtaking feature which is now playing in the U.S. It hits On Demand June 30.

Directed by Alex Holmes, The Last Rider is a documentary about legendary American cyclist Greg LeMond. A three time Tour de France winner, LeMond came back from a traumatic incident to go toe to toe with fellow cyclist Laurent Fignon at the 1989 Tour de France. The documentary also features interviews with LeMond’s wife Kathy and Spanish bicycler Pedro Delgado. Full interview with Lemond and Holmes is featured below.
Jordan Gertner makes his feature directing debut with Sheroes. That said, he is an experienced producer (The Killer Inside Me,Buffalo 66,Spring Breakers) so going behind the camera must have been second nature to him.
Filmmaker Mark Pellington has helmed several movies (Arlington Road,The Mothman Prophecies, Going All The Way) which have made an impact on my moviegoing life. Pellington’s latest feature is Survive, an adventure drama headlined by Sophie Turner and Corey Hawkins. It’s another impressive effort from the director, who spent close to 40 minutes talking about Survive and his filmmaking career.
Filmmaker Anthony Mandler(Monster) delivers a first rate Western with Surrounded.

Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire, narrated by David Oyelowo (Selma) and directed by Trip Jennings, is a critically acclaimed documentary which enables viewers to gain a deeper understanding of wiildfire. CinemAddictsco-host Eric Holmes gave the documentary ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, and I will definitely be seeing this documentary this weekend. The project is currently out on TVOD/Digital and TVD’s in North America, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Check out the Trip Jennings interview in our post!
Midday Black Midnight Blueis a highly unique viewing experience. Directed by Samantha Soule and Daniel Talbott, the feature centers on Ian (Chris Stack), a person who continues to struggle with memories of his former companion Liv (Soule). Soule and Stack elaborated on why this narrative is not your run of the mill drama. The non-linear structure and insightful storytelling resonated for me, and I hope more cinephiles give Midday Black Midnight Blue a shot.
