Stars: Jessie Eisenberg, Alexander Skarsgård, Salma Hayek, Michael Mando, Johan Heldenbergh, Ayisha Issa, Mark Slacke, Sarah Goldberg, Frank Schorpion, Kwasi Songui, Conrad Pla, Julian Bailey, Jessica Greco | Written and Directed by Kim Nguyen
Written and directed by Kim Nguyen, The Hummingbird Project, which stars Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland), Alexander Skarsgård (True Blood) and Salma Hayek (Frida), is a thriller that follows two guys with a singular dream to build a fibre-optic cable between New Jersey and Kansas, which would be a millisecond faster than the competition, which would in turn make them into millionaires. Their ruthless and uber-powerful ex-boss Eva (Hayek) however, is doing her damnedest to slide between them and beat them. It’s a story of a strong and vicious need for financial gain, but also a story of finding a true self and reconnecting with things that truly matter.

Take a look @ writer/director Brooks Hunter's 2014 psychological 'found footage' action thriller "American Descent", available on Blu-ray and DVD, March 8, 2016, exclusively from Anchor Bay Entertainment Canada, starring Eva Link, Olivier Surprenant, Caeden Lawrence and Mark Slacke:
"...in 2014, 'Sergeant First Class Stephen Harris' edited and uploaded this film. It was his message to the world. A group of teenagers are sent an unlabeled DVD from a U.S. Army base in Afghanistan containing a video of a strange woman tied to a tree. It ends with a clue. The teens follow the clue to another and yet another, until what started out as a game becomes a terrifying chase into the mind of Harris.
"At the end of the line, the teen’s world comes full circle as they discover they weren't just playing a game, they were pawns in a revenge plot only a master of war could devise.

The weather in Portland turned on October 1st, from clear skies bathing the city with sunshine to cloudy with a chill in the air.
It seemed like perfect to witness the end of a yearly Rose City tradition. For fifteen years, the first weekend in October brought legions of fans to The H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival. But the crowd gathering in the Hollywood Theater would not only celebrate Cosmic Horror in film and literature, but also bear witness to the festival's last Portland gathering. Festival director Andrew Migliore, having used up all his 'sanity points', was calling this year his last.
Such sad news did not deter the fans packed into the Hollywood Theater. The vendor room was hot and muggy as people circled around tables full of books, artwork, t-shirts and all manner of tentacled merchandise. I took a quick look, but rushed into the upper left theater...
