The history of horror is often told through a masculine lens, focused on the "Masters of Horror" and the slashers that haunt our dreams. But a new documentary directed by Donna Davies is set to shift that perspective, revealing that women haven't just been the victims on screen; they’ve been the architects behind the camera since the dawn of cinema. Timed perfectly for Women’s History Month, this groundbreaking film explores how women pioneers have revolutionized the genre from 1895 to the present day. Based on the extensive research and book by renowned film critic and author Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, the documentary promises a deep dive into the indelible mark women have left on horror's evolution. Rather than viewing women as a recent addition to the genre, the film traces a lineage of creators, directors, and actors who have been pushing boundaries for over a century. The project is helmed by Davies, a Halifax-based filmmaker who has become a definitive voice in ...

From below the earth to the stars, The Great Basin is a documentary feature that builds a complex panorama of rural Nevada, in the Western United States, through a tapestry of characters who work, live, and play there. The Great Basin is the location of the "Loneliest Road in America" and can be seen as a microcosm of the economic, social, and ecological marginalization of 21st-century rural communities.  The Great Basin invites viewers on a road of discovery through rural Nevada.

8-year-old Aaron Averhart was just a year shy of being able to move up from Cub Scout to Boy Scout when he received a special request from an admired Boy Scout leader, William (Bill) Sheehan. As Aaron rose up the Boy Scout ranks, he slowly became aware of Sheehan’s grooming techniques and began to realize he had much more sinister intentions in store for him. If Aaron’s parents had known that since the 1920s the Boy Scouts of America had been keeping hidden files on dangerous pedophiles in their ranks while failing to warn the public, the police, the scouts, their parents, or even fully removing them from the Boy Scouts program, they would have never allowed young Aaron to be part of such a complicit and corrupt organization. Boy Scout's Honor will be available on demand on Tuesday December 13th

  In the 1970s, five men struggling with being gay in their Evangelical church started a Bible study to help each other leave the "homosexual lifestyle." They quickly received over 25,000 letters from people asking for help and formalized as Exodus International, the largest and most controversial conversion therapy organization in the world. But leaders struggled with a secret: their own “same-sex attractions” never went away. After years as Christian superstars in the religious right, many of these men and women have come out as LGBTQ, disavowing the very movement they helped start. Focusing on the dramatic journeys of former conversion therapy leaders, current members, and a survivor, PRAY AWAY chronicles the “ex gay" movement’s rise to power, persistent influence, and the profound harm it causes. Launching Globally on Netflix August 3rd
