"Go be a professional failure!!" BritFlicks has debtued the first teaser trailer for an indie dark comedy titled Me, Myself & The Void. It just premiered this weekend at the 2023 Dances With Films Festival, and is still seeking distribution. Trapped in a mysterious void outside the bounds of time and space, a struggling stand-up comedian must investigate how his body wound up motionless on his bathroom floor and wake himself up before it's too late. From this trailer, it looks like it's dealing with a near death experience of a guy who wakes up and sees himself dead and is caught in the limbo between life and death. Directed by Tim Hautekiet, Me, Myself & The Void stars Jack De Sena as the comedian trying to decide whether he wants to give it all up or not, along with Kelly Marie Tran, Kristin Carey, James Babson, Akilah Hughes, Sophia Esperanza,...

Thanks to the proliferation of film festivals, video websites, and cheap equipment, short films are entering a type of renaissance. Lots of great ideas are being committed to film (or digital, as the case may be) and don’t overstay their welcome. For some, it’s a jumping off point for feature adaptations and more long format work. For others, it’s simply the ideal expression of their ideas. Chris Smith and Jack De Sena are two filmmakers who are constantly tweaking genre staples with their short film work, injecting lots of awkward but heartfelt (if a bit dark) comedy into well-worn scenarios. Their latest film, Movies In Space, is no exception, exploring what happens when an astronaut becomes an ambassador for Earth on another planet, and soon finds himself embroiled in that alien world’s movie industry.

Dorm Life, the awkwardly absurd college life comedy web series released its first ever DVD today, Dorm Life: Semester One (Amazon.com Exclusive). The mockumentary series remains Hulu's most watched web original, aside from last year's Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. While its heartbreaking two-part season finale came out back in July, the Streamy-nominated web series from indie production house Attention Span Media continued to grow in popularity. The deftly original students of “5 South” span the spectrum of characters—the overly excited, fun-loving Steph (Jessie Gaskell), the self-conscious bully Ra, Marshall (Brian C. Singleton), the frustrated, pretentious artist (Pancho Morris), average-guy Mike (Chris W. Smith). The DVD is being put out by New Video, the same distributor that picked up The Guild Seasons 1 & 2 for DVD as well as Dr. Horrible. What to expect from the $19.95 DVD: The jam-packed 118-minute Dorm Life: Semester 1 DVD consists of 20 five-to-six-minute episodes that perfectly...

I'm usually not one to get sentimental, but I think I cried five times during the Dorm Life: Season 2 Finale which premiered today on Hulu. The Streamy Award nominated web series, which we have also confirmed is also ranked as the most popular web series on Hulu, is a comedic mockumentary following the lives of several college students thrown together on the same dorm floor. The two-part season finale, which takes place during the last days of school before summer, provides the perfect setting to resolve the rich character development which sets this series apart from the otherwise played-out Office-style format. Full of mischief, adventures, rivalries and romance, Dorm Life offers and insider's view of the rocky and often awkward road to adulthood. The ten students of "5 South" span the spectrum of characters—we have the overly excited, fun-loving Steph (Jessie Gaskell), the self-conscious bully Ra Marshall (Brian C. Singleton), the frustrated,...

After a nine-month hiatus, on March 2 the undergrads of Dorm Life are set to return from the longest Winter break ever. The mockumentary, produced by La-based Attention Span Media (Sock Tube, Lakeman), premiered in February of 2008 and documents the lives of the inhabitants of dormitory 5-South through the lenses of a documentary camera crew and the students’ webcams. Old fans of the series will not be disappointed with the new season - er, semester. The gang returns with the confidence and maturity (though that may not be the best adjective) you’d expect from a web series that’s become the all-time most popular web show on Hulu (yes, they even beat out Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible). While the first season rarely brought in characters outside the core group, the new episodes bring a few unfamiliar faces, which is always akin to new underpants - kinda funny feelin’ until...
