This teaser for a film short by local filmmaker Robert Kirkpatrick due in early 2012 is "an homage to crime graphic novels and late 70's and early 80's revenge movies," according to its Vimeo page. That means Samurai swords, an eye-patch wearing baddie and a British-accented moll (Kirkpatrick's wife, Jessica). Looks pretty slick.
NSFW if your work frowns on foul language.

Nice looking trailer for Little Rock native Jeff Nichols' recent Grand Prize winner at Critics Week at Cannes.
The special effects look stunning, which isn't something we usually expect from an indie.
"Take Shelter" is due in October.
The win at Cannes probably means that whatever slim chance the LRFF had at getting a special screening is gone.

And all the film geeks say: "Duuude."
The female lead, Jessica Chastain, also co-stars in Jeff Nichols new film.

There's a filmsplosion in Arkansas. Cameras and other equipment are relatively cheap and everyone's got a story to tell. This one, set in Central Arkansas and featuring a lot of White Countians (woot, woot!), seems to be about teen angst and mystery. Possibly of the supernatural variety? Nancy Liles, Searcy, Arkansas' finest actress (and DJ Ike Plumlee's momma) features.
Directors Brian White and Chris Thompson are planning to submit "The Gleaning" to the Little Rock Film Fest.
UPDATE: The trailer will screen tonight at ACAC's "Show Your Shorts" night along with several shorts by Times contributor Levi Agee and Adrian Tillman (AKA 607), respectively, 8-10:30 p.m., 608 Main.

This new documentary by David Soll follows the production of Dan Hurlin's 2009 theater production of "Disfarmer," a puppet play about the Heber Springs photographer. It debuts at Doc NYC next weekend.
Surely, the Little Rock Film Fest will scoop it up next go 'round.

Good trailer.

Hank III does an acoustic version of his grandfather's "Alone and Forsaken," with a metal montage in the background in the second trailer for "Slow Southern Steel," the underground metal documentary Rwake's CT has been working on for a couple years now. He's hoping to have it ready for SXSW '11.

Score.
There is no way this isn't going to be amazing.
One question: Why is there a bear riding a horse in one scene?
