Joann Kohng’s Subject to IX tells the heartbreaking truth of the Title IX rules that colleges abide by.

Philomene Long plays the vampire Manananaan in indie maven Pegarty Long's film about a bloodthirsty Irish creature of the night who heads to a city known to house its own strange beasts: Hollywood. But Manananaan is right in his element and quickly regains his footing as he acclimates to the metropolis' strange ways. In no time, he chooses his victim -- the sister of a mercurial artist -- and is determined to keep her hostage.

The iconic title character stars in her own horror and gothic TV series.
Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that. The film perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Latinx immigrants and uses gore and misogyny for shock value that never serves any purpose. The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.
I hope that more people will see Joyland, understand the situation, and eventually change themselves and society so we can have a more accommodating world where everyday tragedies like the one depicted in the film do not occur.
