Everyone is OBSESSED with this film!!
Easily one of the best horror movies in years and @obsessionthemovie is quickly becoming one of highest ratedfilms of 2026!
*And may become one of the most profitable films EVER!! It’s already made more than 21 times its $750,000 budget just this weekend. 🌟🎉

It’s no surprise fans & critics are loving it - this is truly one of the most original, clever, intense films I’ve seen in a long time. And they stuck the landing with a genius ending….just so well done.

Love hearing the cast is obsessed with Vegas - in a healthy way - I think they more than deserve a vacation after their incredible opening. 🎰

Who else saw it this weekend? What did you think? 🫣

Through filmmaker support, funding pathways, professional development, workshops, mixers, and industry insights, creators get the tools, mentorship, and connections needed to bring their stories to life.

Who’s watching Widow’s Bay?! 🫣🌊
I absolutely love this new show which combines Stephen King like horror with the right amount of comedy.
Plus the cast! 🙌
I mean @thematthewrhys was in my all-time favorite show @theamericansfx and he just keeps giving us one must-see series after another!

Who else is watching?! 😃

*Btw, I liked the Vegas suggestion of how to improve tourism in Widow’s Bay. 🎰💗

A must-watch 🎬📱

The Stunt Double (2020), directed by Damien Chazelle for Apple, proves that vertical storytelling can still feel cinematic, immersive, and action-packed. Shot entirely on an iPhone 11 Pro, the film pays tribute to the stunt performers behind some of cinema’s most iconic moments while reimagining classic genres through a vertical lens.

A perfect example of how vertical film is pushing creative boundaries and redefining modern storytelling.

It’s Showtime alright!! 🍿🎉
@mortalkombatmovie brought the action to theaters this weekend and I loved chatting with the cast.
Including @karlurban & @hellolawson who had a lot of fun in the film & the interview.
Urban brings the iconic #JohnnyCage to the big screen the latest in a long list of classic characters, but which one would he love to invite to a #MortalKombat tournament? 🏟️

Who do you guys think would fare best?
