A Few Recent Films:Nutshells

Thriller/Sci-fi/Horror A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014) Very stylish B&W with a 50’s James Dean/beatnik vibe. An Iranian (filmed in California) hipster vamp that preys primarily on men that mistreat women. Directed and written by Ana […]

The photography, camera angles, were great ~ such an artist. The fact he wrote this […]
