TCFF 2016 Reviews: ‘Oxenfree’ + ‘The Eyes Of My Mother’
'Oxenfree' Review Many of us may remember that expression we used at the end of our games of Hide and Seek – “Olly, Olly, Oxenfree!” The longing to return to juvenile games and stories is a theme in “Oxenfree,” the feature film that had its world premiere at the Twin Cities Film Fest last night.

TCFF 2016 Indie Horror Spotlight: Lake Runs Red – interview w/ director Jason Riesgraf + producer Jeff Fuller
Those who read my blog regularly knows I have such feeble nerves that I can't handle most horror movies. But I'm always up for supporting indie films, especially Minnesota-made films!

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 …

We're now on its halfway point of the 11-day film festivities! I've been watching plenty of documentaries back to back, and today we've got reviews of two excellent ones we highly recommend. 'Denial' Review Our nation’s electrical grid and having a transgender family member. The two don’t seem to be related, do they? They will after you …
