Their goal is to foster a creative space where filmmakers are celebrated for their unique perspectives regardless of premier status, budget or industry connections.

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 8/28/25

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:

SPLITSVILLE bills itself as "an unromantic comedy" which explores the messy, hilarious and sometimes painful terrain of love and breakups, mixing two man children, one open relationship and ridiculous relationship dynamics. That doesn't begin to capture the movie! Actor/writer/director Michael Angelo Covino & actor/writer Kyle Marvin Zoom in and chat about how their creative partnership helped shape the film, why humor is an essential way to process heartbreak and what SPLITSVILLE ultimately says about love and connection.  

In 1990, a group of thieves stole 13 paintings worth hundreds of millions of dollars from a Boston museum in what remains one of the greatest unsolved art heists in history. ANY DAY NOW is a fictionalized (and slightly humorous) imagining of the events leading up to the robbery, centering on an unassuming security guard whose life has gotten away from him, who gets maneuvered into the operation by a criminal art lover. Joining us is criminal mastermind-- er, actor Paul Guilfoyle (L.A. CONFIDENTIAL).

Then, "Screen Scene" movie reviews (in theaters, if not specified) including ﻿﻿﻿NE ZHA II; ﻿EENIE MEANIE [Hulu]; CAUGHT STEALING; THE ROSES; ﻿LURKER [Mubi]; VICE IS BROKE [Mubi]; THE CONJURING (2013) [4K][Warner Home Entertainment]; FRIENDSHIP [A24]; BRING HER BACK [A24] and ﻿﻿1923: SEASON 2 [Paramount Home Entertainment].
