Cerebrum, the debut feature from director Arvi and co-writer Gary D. Houk made its premiere April 25th at the Worldfest Film Festival. The tale of experiments with human memory and father-son estrangement attracted a bit of attention ahead of its screening. Does it live up to the hype?

"I don't trust myself anymore..." Glasshouse Distribution has released a new official trailer for an indie sci-fi film titled Cerebrum, marking the feature directorial debut of "visionary new filmmaker" Arvi Ragu. It's premiering at WorldFest in Houston this month, then arrives on VOD right after that. Yet another low budget sci-fi trying to play with big concepts like digitizing humanity and artificial intelligence, with some nods to Minority Report. A test subject at a memory transfer lab commits a crime he cannot remember. The premise explores "what will happen if our memories can be digitized as backups and used to restore it if it ever failed." This stars Christian James as Tom, Alexxis Lemire, John Ruby, James Russo, Andy Pisharody, and Aly Trasher. This has a bit of a Primer look and feel to it, I just hope it's smart and not too cheesy.

Directed/Written by: Minh Duc Nguyen
Starring: Porter Lynn, John Ruby, Melinda Bennett and Long Nguyen
With a deft piece of editing, the opening montage of “Touch” delivers a promise that, despite a no-name cast and filmmaker, we’re in for something special about a very specific community.
A light comedy painted with brushstrokes of both drama and humor, the film’s core is constituted by Tam (Porter Lynn), a quiet nail technician who is a magician at bedazzling her client’s fingertips, and Brendan (John Ruby), a male mechanic embarrassed by his grease-stained hands who is seeking help with a condition that has become a point of consternation for his wife. From moment one of Brendan’s meeting Tam, it’s clear that Tam’s touch and attention, two things clearly missing from his relationship, enchant the first-timer.
