Short Film: Trunk of Death
Written by Ben J. Tucker
A serial killer who dwells in an apartment building has to make like
Jeffrey Dahmer every so often, and dump a corpse without anyone
noticing. Unless, as in Greg Pregent’s wryly funny Trunk of Death, his oblivious neighbors happen to be way too helpful. Who knew Woody Allen was a serial killer?

Fan Film: Star Trek: Horizon
A four-year dream has finally concluded for one fan. Since 2012, a group of dedicated fans of Star Trek: Enterprise have been working towards completing a fan film paying tribute to the franchise, and now it's finally here. Star Trek: Horizon is pretty damn impressive considering its budget! If you're a fan of the series, this is a must-watch!
"Star Trek - Horizon is a feature-length fan film made by a single filmmaker as a personal passion project and love letter to Enterprise, the fifth Star Trek series. Pre-production began in December of 2012 and this 3-year-long odyssey concluded on February 25th, 2016. It's been a long road, getting from there to here.
The Coalition of Planets, a young alliance of worlds led by Earth, is at war with the Romulan Empire. Desperate for a chance to gain the upper hand in the war, the Coalition forms an alliance with T'mar, a Romulan deserter, in the hopes that she can provide valuable intelligence on her former masters."

Short Film: Turning Point
"Turning Point" by Joe Penna
Written by Joe Penna and Ryan Morrison
Written by Joe Penna and Ryan Morrison
"Turning Point" is yet another great sci-fi short from Joe Penna. This one takes us into a post-apocalyptic near future in which a
lethal contagion transforms people into zombies.
Far from being the typical zombie horror cliché, though, Penna offers a fresh take on the genre with a story about a woman trapped in the midst of an outbreak.
Below, you can watch an excellent behind the scene featurette demonstrating how the film came together, as well as all the unexpected difficulties
the director encountered during production, including the lead actress being involved in a serious car accident on her way to the shoot.
"Abandoned and exposed to a deadly disease, a young woman wakes up to discover she must survive the night alone."

Short Film: Tempbot
Director Blomkamp was Hollywood's golden boy following the run-away success of District 9, but his career took a hit following the dismal dismal box office performance of Chappie. Tempbot, like the extraordinary Alive in Joburg before it, is a powerful reminder that - whatever career faux pass he may have committed - he's still one of the most skilled filmmakers in science fiction.
"Tempbot" is an eloquently simple science fiction short film that achieves poignancy without a single line of dialog.
