"Why would I want to be like everyone else?" "Because it has to be better than this." Freestyle Digital has released an official trailer for an indie drama / dark comedy titled Ms. White Light, which first premiered at the SXSW Film Festival last year. It also then played at the Torino Film Festival in Italy, where it won the Audience Award a year ago. Roberta Colindrez (seen on the TV shows "Vida" and "The Deuce") stars as Lex Cordova, a young woman who counsels terminally ill clients that have trouble letting go. While uniquely talented in her ability to connect with the dying, Lex is at a total loss when it comes to dealing with everyone else. Until she meets a woman named Valerie. The indie cast also includes Zachary Spicer, John Ortiz, Judith Light, and Taylar Fondren. This actually looks quite intriguing, not only with all the wide shots of offices and hospital rooms.

John Lee Hancock is directing from his own script in which Washington portrays a burnt-out deputy sheriff from the Bakersfield area who teams with Malek’s crack Lasd detective in pursuit of a serial killer.

Written and directed by Paul Shoulberg, the odd and occasionally profound dark comedy Ms. White Light features a unique profession at its core: the morality industry offering a niche product to consumers looking for a person to comfort their loved ones as they pass. A hospice nurse can pump them full of drugs, but the mortality counselors at father and daughter small business Cordova and Cordova extensively research their clients. Enter Val (Judith Light), a woman who retains the Cordovas, amongst other professionals, to keep her company much to the annoyance of Lex Cordova (Roberta Colindrez), who is good at her job but at not very much else.
Like anyone who’s been forced to be on for an extended period of time, Lex has issues dealing with grieving families after death has come for their loved one. In the film’s opening scene she profoundly reads a dying woman...

There will be 102 features and TV episodes featured over nine days.
In recent years, SXSW has upped its game as a festival that covers a lot of ground. It reliably launches a few spring studio hits, such as last year’s “The Quiet Place” and “Blockers,” and also discovers under-the-radar storytellers. For attendees, there’s also keynote addresses with filmmakers and actors.
The standouts in this year’s lineup include Korine’s “The Beach Bum,” a much-anticipated comedy starring Matthew McConaughey, Snoop Dogg and Zac Efron.

An unlikely romantic comedy concerning a young parish priest struggling to discover the true scope of his religious calling, The Good Catholic doesn't so much challenge conventions as reinforce them. Potentially engaging enough to appeal beyond faith-based communities, writer-director Paul Shoulberg's feature remains a distinctly specialized item that would likely require dedicated care to reach beyond a core audience, which could be sizeable nonetheless.
Father Daniel (Zachary Spicer) ended up in the priesthood as a tribute to his deceased father, leading to his position as the youngest of three clergymen ministering to a Bloomington, In parish. Under the guidance of...

A batch of new images from Gotham‘s strangely-titled upcoming episode, “Everyone Has A Cobblepot,” have appeared online, showing the return of young Assistant District Attorney Harvey Dent – played by Masters of Sex alum Nicholas D’Agosto – and the debut of the creepy serial killer known as the Dollmaker.
The Borgias and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 actor Colm Feore was cast as the Dollmaker (or in this case, Dr. Dulmacher) late last month, and based on the episode’s synopsis, he’s the one behind the creepy organ donation ring that Fish Mooney was recently caught up in, which makes sense considering he was attached to child smuggling earlier in the season as well.
