Simon Tofield has entertained internet audiences since way back in 2008 by way of Simon's Cat, an original online video program he created featuring an incredibly expressive, kinda anthropomorphized, black and white, cartooned feline with a knack for getting into physically comedic situations. Today, the Simon's Cat video catalog is composed of roughly 70 short films of a maximum length of about 180 seconds each. And those three-minute snippets of Simon's cat's life have elicited smiles and genuine laughs from a YouTube audience that's than 3.4 million subscribers strong who have - along with the rest of the internet - collectively watched the series' videos more than 633 million times.
That kind of popularity has encouraged Tofield and his team to add no less than 18 physical books and a small collection of fine art prints, human paraphernalia, feline paraphernalia, ceramics, plush toys, and other themed merchandise to the Simon's Cat universe. But soon Tofield and...

The 14th annual Boston Underground Film Festival is ready to kick ass and take names on March 29 to April 1 at the Brattle Theatre. And a few of those names will look familiar to Buff fanatics — and underground film fans the world over.
A trio of Buff favorites are returning to the fest with debut feature films after totally killing it with their amazing short films in the past. Jamie Heinrich‘s Happily Never After is a feature-length expansion of the short film that took home the Best of Fest Award in 2010, but with more solid and mature themes as the movie explores the problematic life of a degenerate photographer.
Another former award winner is Richard Bates Jr. who will be screening Excision, another feature-length extension of a short film, this one about a teenage girl who exercises her morbid obsession with surgery every chance she gets.

We often say the strangest things to children without even realizing how odd it sounds. Children are full of questions, constantly confused by the world or misguided by falsehoods or exaggerations. When children bring these questions to us, as adults, we’re often unsure how to broach certain subjects, so in an effort to spin the answer in a way that will satisfy the child, but not lead on to disclosing too much information too soon, we create these elaborate, often ridiculous stories in place of the simple, honest truth.
For me, watching Being Bradford Dillman is a wonderful exercise in recognizing this tendency to conjure up vivid yarns in place of offering a more straight-forward response. Directed by Emma Burch and co-written with Peter Williamson, this is the story of little Molly Flowers, a young girl who declares to her alcoholic mother that she hates boys and wishes they...
