To read info about each movie go here and here. In this section there are more new to the blog films with some that seem interesting. Will try to find trailers but probably is going to be hard as all are new directors and to my amazement many filmmakers do not have in top of their mind that the first and best marketing tool for their films is doing a good trailer that motivate viewership without telling too much about the plot, just enough for you to wish to see more.
