When I saw the trailer for this indie film, I was immediately intrigued! Firstly, I LOVE Parker Posey AND James Frain, and the premise sounds ripe for an offbeat comedy. When a couple sets out to build their dream house, they enlist the services of an uncompromising modernist architect, who proceeds to build HIS dream house instead …

TCFF Indie Film Spotlight: ‘Miles Between Us’ + Interview with lead actor Dariush Moslemi
I love road movies and Miles Between Us is an engaging mix of road trip + inspirational family drama. It's a Minnesota-made production, and most of the scenes shot around the Twin Cities, so it's cool to see a sold-out screening of it on Sunday. It also has a Minnesota crew, including one of TCFF staff members Briana …

Five powerful films paint a picture of what our vets face post-combat and foster important discussions around how to better serve those who've given us their all, which starts …

TCFF is less than a week away! Those who've been reading my blog for a while knows I've been covering TCFF since its inception seven years ago. It was only a 5-day festival and it was split between two different locations in Minneapolis. Well now TCFF has made its home at Kerasotes ShowPlace ICON Theatres in …
FlixChatter Review: Captain Fantastic (2016)
The title of the film may sound like a superhero film but this indie drama is as far away from the ubiquitous genre as it can get. It made me think of The Sound of Music if Captain Von Trapp were to uproot his entire family to the Austrian Alps and homeschooled all his kids instead of hiring Maria. Set …
