New film by the director Matthew Fifer. Like in his debut “Cicada”, Fifer gives us a complex, dark and sexy profile of a man in search for answers to his troubled past.
This time round Fifer doesn’t act, but leaves the stage to Cole Doman (“Mutt”) who plays Joe, an investigating journalist, who returns to his hometown after rehab.
Joe is struggling to find a steady job, and focuses on the big story that will put his career back on track: The mysterious death of eight gay men in the psychiatric hospital that now stands abandoned in his hometown.
At the same time Joe begins a new and thrilling affair with Luke (Brian J Smith, “Sense8”). But who is the new stranger that arrived in town at the same time as Joe? Does the death of Joe’s sister when they were kids have anything to do with the deaths of the men in the psychiatric hospital?
Viewing is 18+ due to explicit sexual content and violence.
Dakota Riley is a beloved football star of his local high school. His dominant father and teammates have a clear plan for him, but Riley, who wants to be loved by everyone, is having a hard time loving himself. He does anonymous hook-ups, suffers from anxiety and lives in constant fear of being outed in a conservative town and a football team that is all toxic masculinity.
“Riley” is a fascinating film of the journey of a young man trying to figure out who he is, what he wants from himself and what is the life path he should be taking. The story focuses on his conflicted emotions and denied desires, all the while navigating adolescence.
“Riley” was written and directed by Benjamin Howard, and it is the director’s first full length feature, after he’s made several award winning short films. Howard is definitely a refreshing discovery and will surely find his place in Hollywood in the next few years. Jake Holley gives a powerful and complex performance as Riley.

Jeremy Borison’s moving debut film provides a glimpse into the world of Noam, a religious high school student who comes from a very traditional Jewish-American family. Noam finds a love letter addressed to his grandfather by another man, written before the holocaust, and decides to look for the mystery man who wrote the letter and learn more about his grandfather as well as himself.
Charlie Korman is doing a wonderful job in the lead role. His best friend and love interest who helps him dig into his family secrets (that everyone seems adamant to hide) is played by Israeli actor Michael Zapesotsky (best known for his roles in TV series “Yellow Peppers” and “The Commander”).
“Unspoken” is a moving teen film that encompasses the past, present and the complex experience of being a religious teen in a conservative Jewish environment.
