"What makes you think we'd ever let you go?" Damn! Madman Films in Australia has unveiled their official trailer for The Cost, a riveting crime thriller from filmmaker Matthew Holmes. This premiered at the 2022 MonsterFest in Australia last year, but hasn't shown many other places yet. Intent on dispensing their own brutal form of justice, two ordinary men abduct a felon who committed a horrific crime many years before. This vigilante justice story set over 48 hours is an intense look at just how far some will go to get back at evil people. Once you watch this trailer, the title of "The Cost" will make much more sense. There definitely is a cost... This stars Jordan Fraser-Trumble, Damon Hunter, Kevin Dee, Clayton Watson, Nicole Pastor, Nadia Fragnito, and Mark Redpath. Looks like it could be disturbingly good. There's still no US release set yet, have to keep an eye out for more updates.

Stars: Nicole Pastor, Jordan Fraser-Trumble, Damon Hunter, Kevin Dee, Clayton Watson, Nadia Fragnito, Mark Redpath | Written by Matthew Holmes, Gregory Moss | Directed by Matthew Holmes
A voicemail message opens director Matthew Holmes’ film The Cost, as Stephanie (Nicole Pastor) leaves a message for her husband apologising for an argument while asking to be picked up from the station. As the recording conveys her sincerity in making up, that hope is drained due to the following sight of Stephanie’s lifeless body. The story then flashes to the present day, as David (Jordan Fraser-Trumble) and Aaron (Damon Hunter) prepare themselves for the coming weekend. Their loved ones are told the pair are going on a camping trip, although the packed items hint at more sinister plans.
A sense of foreboding is effectively set, as The Cost also shows Troy (Kevin Dee) drowning his sorrows, unaware of what is coming. Abducted and taken to a private property,...

Submerge is a slight but engaging drama about life, lust and relationships within the world of the Australian Academy.
Jordan (Lily Hall) is an undergrad student, seeking to enlighten herself about ancient civilisations. In between lectures, and assignments, she is attempting to break through in the world of competitive swimming. In these efforts, she is alternately hindered and cheered on by bi flatmate and young Lothario, Lucas (Kevin Dee), and her ambitious/pushy mother, who is never off the phone, exhorting her to train harder, do better.
Exhorting? Not quite. As far as her mother is concerned, Jordan’s future lies in the water and if that means deferring her university course for a year, so be it.
This, though, Jordan is reluctant to do. For not only is she in love with her subject but she is falling for one of her lecturers, Angie (Christina Hallett). The latter, though,...

The final installment of the First Time Fest… The First Time Fest’s closing night was held on March 4th. Hosted by Academy Award winner Ellen Burstyn (The Exorcist), the Players Club lit up with flashes of cameras and smiles of the first time filmmakers anxiously awaiting whose film will win the grand prize- the chance to have their film distributed by Cinema Libre Studios.
Johanna Bennett and Mandy founded the festival after noticing there wasn’t a venue for where new filmmakers can get their film viewed and appreciated. In attendance at the closing night ceremony were Tony Bennett and Jack Huston, as well as Martin Scorsese, who presented the First John Huston Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinema to Darren Aronofsky, who was also in attendance. Anthony Rapp presented the awards as guests ate food from Chef Diane Dimeo and drank champagne by Nicolas Feuillatte. Also in attendance...

The First Time Fest was created by Johanna Bennett and Mandy Ward as a way to showcase new upcoming filmmakers and their works, and to get them a head start in their industry. The festival occurred on March 1st to 4th at The Players Club in New York, which was a club started by some well-known writers and actors, including Edwin Booth (John Wilkes Booth’s brother), Mark Twain, and more.
While the festival does support new filmmakers in their journey, it also awards previous filmmakers who have made names for themselves. Being that this is the first year of the festival, the first ever John Huston Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinema went to Darren Aronofsky. The award is named in honor of John Huston as he was a esteemed member of The Players Club, as well as considered to be one of the most influential writer, actor, director and producers of all times.
