Sam Hayes’ Pools crashes onto the indie scene with a splash, balancing stylized flair and emotional sincerity in a coming-of-age story that’s part Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, part Rushmore, and all heart.

Set over the course of one neon-soaked night, Pools follows Kennedy, a rebellious college student with one last shot at staying in school.

Read MoreCut (2025)
Malik Salaam’s Cut is a bruising yet beautiful slice of Atlanta street life, where ambition collides with survival and the dream of something better can vanish with one bad choice.

Read MoreSign Your Name (2025)
There’s a moment in Sign Your Name when Xavier Edwards’ character, Artist X, quietly mutters, “I’m evolving as an artist.” It’s a telling line that not only defines his character’s arc but mirrors the film itself, a personal, often intimate short about change, artistic freedom, and staying true to oneself in the face of industry pressure. Inspired by the journey of real-life musical icon Sananda Maitreya, Sign Your Name tells the story of Artist X, a breakout R&B star struggling to break free from the formulaic expectations of his record label.
Read MoreThree (2024) #HHFF
In Three, writer-director Nayla Al Khaja delivers a chilling and richly layered debut that boldly reframes the exorcism subgenre through an Islamic and deeply personal lens. Set across beautifully textured environments in Thailand and the UAE, the film tells the story of a desperate mother, Maryam, who turns to an unlikely Western doctor to save her son Ahmed, whose deteriorating mental health may stem from something far more ancient and sinister. If you’re expecting the typical tropes of Middle Eastern horror or stylized dance numbers sprinkled between scares, Three will subvert those expectations entirely, and for the better.

Ari Aster’s Eddington is a cinematic fever dream—an apocalyptic Western where cowboy hats are traded for face masks, and six-shooters for smartphones. Equal parts satire, horror, and political cartoon, it is the first major American film to tackle the COVID-19 era with both comedic bite and dramatic heft. While it’s definitely too long and sometimes too pleased with its own chaos, it’s also a rich, immersive, and often hilarious pressure cooker of a movie.
Read MoreNyctophobia (2024)
Nyctophobia is less a conventional horror film than a slow, surreal dive into the subconscious—a cinematic anxiety spiral wrapped in dream logic and drenched in atmosphere. Written and directed by Seayoon Jeong, the film follows Liz, a young woman struggling with the titular fear of the dark. As insomnia eats away at her sanity, Liz slips into a dream world where childhood memories and nightmares blur, and nothing—especially not time or space—feels safe or linear.
Read MoreThe Days Ahead (2025)
In The Days Ahead, writer-director Terry Winnan delivers a gripping, thought-provoking indie anthology that imagines a nuclear strike on the United Kingdom and follows the lives of ordinary citizens as they scramble to survive the unimaginable. Composed of three interconnected short films, this low-budget British drama offers a sobering meditation on preparedness, panic, and the fragility of social order when the systems we take for granted vanish overnight. What makes The Days Ahead especially striking is its unflinching realism.
