This Turkish film looks to marry my love of
foreign dramas and hip-hop music. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Seattle
International Film Festival, WHEN I’M DONE DYING follows an aspiring young
rapper as he navigates the underground seen in Istanbul. With music composed by
acclaimed hip-hop recorder, Da Poet.
THE BETA TEST
Directed by Jim Cummings & PJ McCabe

I don’t really know much of anything about
this film but Director/Writer/Actor Jim Cumming is enough to pull me in. His
THUNDER ROAD (2018) was a showcase of immense performance and poise and last
year’s THE WOLF OF SNOW HOLLOW gave genre fans something that is seldom seen in
horror. I’ll likely be a huge fan of his for some time to come.

Ben Wishaw is a fantastic and
underappreciated actor. This looks like a great opportunity for him to showcase
a side that we’ve seldom seen. This performance won him the World Cinema
Dramatic Special Jury award at Sundance so count me in. As an added bonus, this
is one of those ‘takes place in a single day’ films and I always dig those.

Horror anthologies are ‘hit or miss’ for me…
But I watch a ton of them. Horror/Comedy is ‘hit or miss’ for me… But I watch a
ton of those too… This one looks like it’s got a lot of shorter segments and
that’s always appreciated. And it sounds like it’s got a cool framing device. Winner
of the Best Horror Feature at the Garden State Film Festival, and I can’t not
mention that I’ll always be excited to see “Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell”
star, Henry Zebrowski.

Atmospheric moody horror is kind of my
thing. I know absolutely nothing about this film or those who made it, the
trailer is cryptic… it looks like it has something to do with music… I don’t
really know, nor do I care. I do know that some of the filmmakers I’m most
excited about today, are the ones that I first saw at this festival.

Pat Healy is probably the most dependable performer
working in genre films today. I’ve been watching his career for many years and
I’m always excited to see what he gets himself into. This film also stars THE
VAST OF NIGHT’s Sierra McCormick and I think she’s got a great career ahead of
her is these types of films.
