“The Once and Future Smash”
A very silly and funny mockumentary about a horror sequel that never existed.
“The Artifice Girl”
A sophisticated and provocative sci-fi story about artificial intelligence, ethics, science, and humanity, the film is a cerebral work that is very demanding of its audience.

A faux true crime documentary that feels real until the story grows into an overly complicated, bizarre mess about time travel and the occult.
