BAD HAIRCUT... Billy Crumpus has never been the confident type. A socially awkward college student with a goofy charm that never quite lands, he hits rock bottom after a humiliating encounter with a group of girls at a party. Seeing their friend spiraling, Billy’s ride-or-die duo, Sonny and Dee, decide it’s time for drastic measures. Their plan? Take him to the one place that’s never let them down: the chair of their favorite barber, the wildly eccentric and possibly deranged Mick. What starts as a simple haircut quickly spirals into a surreal nightmare. As Mick’s behavior grows increasingly unhinged, it becomes clear he may be hiding something far more sinister possibly connected to the recent disappearance of a local college girl.

Christian Zyp interviews Coty Savard (producer) & Connor McNally (subtitle editor) about Gil Cardinal's film FOSTER CHILD: ohpikihâkan awâsis. It will screen as part of Dreamspeakers International Indigenous Film Festival on Saturday April 18th at 7PM at Landmark City Centre Cinemas. There will be a post-screening Q&A panel after the film with elders Jerry & Jo-Ann Saddleback hosted by Connor McNally and Coty Savard. FOSTER CHILD: ohpikihâkan awâsis... An important figure in the history of Canadian Indigenous filmmaking, Gil Cardinal was born to a Métis mother but raised by a non-Indigenous foster family, and with this autobiographical documentary, he charts his efforts to find his biological mother and to understand why he was removed from her. Considered a milestone in documentary cinema, it addressed the country’s internal colonialism in a profoundly personal manner, winning a Special Jury Prize at Banff and multiple international awards. “Foster Child” is one of the great docs to come out of Canada and nobody, but Gil could have made it,” says writer and broadcaster Jesse Wente, the former Director of Canada’s Indigenous Screen Office. “Gil made it possible for us to think about putting our own stories on the screen, and that was something new and important.”

Listen to Lucas Anders interview with Anthony Oberbeck (director/writer) about his film LITTLE DOORS screening as part of the Calgary Underground Film Festival. See it Saturday April 18th at 7:00  PM at the Globe Cinema in Calgary. Join Anthony Oberbeck, Megan Koester (cast),  Eric Cotten (producer) and Miceal O'Donnell (producer) for a post-screening Q&A.  The feature directorial debut of Anthony Oberbeck (Dad & Stepdad, Reveries: The Mind Prison), LITTLE DOORS is a relentlessly deadpan comedy about loneliness, love, and the pain of human connection. In a strangely quiet, apocalyptic world, a lonely, reticent, and perpetually scowling woman is one day visited by an odd, but good-natured locksmith. They tumble awkwardly into their own strange, stilted version of a romance, and just as a real connection seems to be forming, the woman discovers a small wooden door on the side of her body. Oberbeck stars, with his wife Megan Koester, in a movie indebted stylistically to Aki Kaurismaki, Jim Jarmusch, and Yorgos Lanthimos, but moving very much with its own distinctly absurd logic and quietly thoughtful surrealism.

Christian Zyp interviews Pony Nicole Herauf (director/producer) about her debut feature film YOUNG FEMALE PLAYWRIGHT. See it as part of the Calgary Underground Film Festival on Wednesday April 22nd at 7:00PM at the Globe Cinema. Pony Nicole Herauf & Ellie Moon (screenwriter/actor) will in attendance for a post screening Q&A, YOUNG FEMALE PLAYWRIGHT... 26-year-old Millie lands a career-making debut at Canada’s National Theatre, but the celebration quickly turns to scrutiny after a press release describes her play as a “deeply personal story.” Certain her dark family drama is a work of fiction, Millie is blindsided as those around her begin to read it as confession, especially her uncle Mark, a schoolteacher and recovered alcoholic. Through bright lights and dark comedy, the film interrogates who gets to tell which stories, what it costs a woman to be believed. YOUNG FEMALE PLAYWRIGHT is the debut feature from Calgary-born CUFF alum Director Pony Nicole Herauf (ART BABY, CUFF 2025).

Christian Zyp interviews Alex Montilla (director/writer/editor) about his film FRIDAY THE 69TH. It's screening as part of the Calgary Underground Film Festival on Friday April 17th at 10PM at the Globe Cinema. Alex and Rob Zoppo (actor) will be in attendance for a post screening Q&A. FRIDAY THE 69TH, the first-ever period piece feature shot entirely on an iPhone (probably...don't Google it), is a microbudget slasher-comedy paying tribute to the bottom-shelf horror films of the early ’80s. It follows a group of adult filmmakers in 1981 who aim to capitalize on the slasher trend by making their own independent ripoff about a group of spring breaking college coeds as they are terrorized by a mysterious killer beekeeper with a vendetta, leading to a series of gruesome and absurdly comedic events. Made for under $15,000 and featuring a scene shot on location at the original TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE house, FRIDAY THE 69TH embraces the charm of low-budget horror and DIY spirit of films like EL MARIACHI while delivering a bloody fun time for fans of cult cinema.

Christian Zyp interviews Max Hey (director) about his documentary NOW! MORE! YES! See it as part of Northwest Film Fest Friday April 10th at 9:30pm at the Metro Cinema. This raucous, decidedly stranger-than-fiction doc is one of the wildest movie-going experiences you'll have this year. A SXSW 2025 world premiere, NOW! MORE! YES! tells the incredible story of TW Hansen, the legally blind used car salesman and picture car coordinator based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, whose dreams and schemes know no limits. TW will do just about anything to get a car in front of a camera, even if it means using company funds without his boss, Dave Manyo's, permission. Recorded over three years by Max Hey (one of TW's tenants), the film takes a raw, personal approach to documenting a charming, flawed, and relentlessly optimistic man.
