Cloner 

Nightbooks, the newest entry in children's horror, honors classic horror films, focuses on themes of acceptance, and has awesome production design.

Despite everything it was capable of, all of these poor choices strung together amount to nothing more than a counter-productive film.

Although Christmas is a time of year for love and cheer for all, holiday cinema has not always represented diverse communities. Being a holiday with Christian origins, much of its media consists of straight white families or straight white romances. Luckily, modern years have been bringing with them plenty of POC and LGBTQ+ representation that the holidays so desperately need.

This delightfully odd horror movie presents a whimsically strange alternate reality to younger audiences.

Portraying how easy it is to be an ally heavily benefits the majority audience. The more we encourage it, normalize it, and give people the tools to become one, the sooner we can co-exist peacefully.

We chat with Penelope Lawson about her short film, The Dinner Party, her experience founding her own production company, and fun cinema.
