"It's a film that's bound to make your inner child smile." Perhaps? Indican Pictures has debuted an official trailer for an indie comedy titled Zilla and Zoe, which originally premiered at the Portland Film Festival in 2017. This amusing, heartfelt, fun comedy set in Portland is about a young 10-year-old girl named Zoe who is obsessed with gore and horror. To win the contest of her dreams and pursue a career in filmmaking, she will have to turn her sister's wedding into a horror film. Of course, it doesn't exactly go as planned. Or maybe it does? Aida Valentine stars as Zoe, with a cast including Sam Kamerman, Greg James, Kurt Conroyd, Mia Allen, Julie Elizabeth Knell, and Holden Goyette. It looks funny and endearing, and also very self-referential about a young filmmaker making a masterpiece film any way she can. Check it out. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Jessica Scalise's Zilla and Zoe,...

Turning 40 is a bummer, but it’s not all bad: At the very least, you can find yourself a new gay best friend. That’s what happens to Jackie Rosenblum (Brooke Totman), the protagonist of a new web series called The Benefits of Gusbandry.
Don’t bother looking up “gusbandry” in the dictionary; it’s not a real world. It’s a portmanteau of “gay” and “husband,” and in the context of the show, it refers to Jackie’s relationship with her new friend River Manning (Kurt Conroyd), who she meets at her debaucherous 40th birthday party. The show’s description describes Jackie as a “serial relationship killer,” and the first episode sells us River as the witty partner-in-crime she needs to get her life together.
Like another series I reviewed about a budding gay/straight friendship, The Benefits of Gusbandry works because of the chemistry of its stars. Totman...
