Filipe Melo
Filipe Melo’s The Lone Wolf (O Lobo Solitário) was recently shortlisted for this year’s Oscars. 23 minutes long and captured in a single shot, it stars seasoned Portuguese actor Adriano Luz as Vitor Lobo, a late night radio talk show host who gets a shock one night when old friend Raul (António Fonseca) calls in and begins to make some very disturbing allegations, live on air. It’s a tense piece of work, but perhaps equally tense was the day when Filipe received the news. He’s a filmmaker, musician and author whose life has suddenly begun to change in dramatic ways, and when we met, he told me how it felt to have the attention of the Academy.
“It was absolutely crazy,” he says, explaining that he had a dangerous accident earlier that day when he drilled into a wall to hang up a painting and inadvertently pierced a gas.

"Well, mister. You sure drove a long way for an apple pie." This is a wholesome short film that will fill you up with that warm, fuzzy feeling of goodness just like a homemade apple pie. If only we could serve everyone some apple pie when they watch this. Sleepwalk is written and directed by Portuguese filmmaker Filipe Melo, telling a very American story of a man who drives a long way to find some apple pie from a small, dusty town. Why? You have to watch to find out what it all means and why he went all the way there. There's no way to figure it out from guessing before, I am sure of that. Starring Greg Lucey, Durant Mcleod, and Joy Green. There's just something wonderful about this short, besides the plot itself, the extra warm color timing and on-location cinematography. And the lead performance that carries...

With the release of Jonathan Levine’s Warm Bodies, I decided to compile a list of my favourite films that take a non-traditional approach to the living-dead canon. More specifically, they all blend romance and the undead. I can’t guarantee any of these films will make you believe in the power of love, nor that they will sidestep the idea of necrophilia, but each is charming in their own unique and twisted ways.
Note: It took me longer to decide what I should or shouldn’t include on the list, than to actually write the bloody thing. So in the end, I figured I should narrow down my choices to zombie movies about falling in love. Thus I am not including Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive, nor Ed and His Dead Mother, since those films both deal with a boy’s love for his undead parent. I am also...
