Photos of the Day #2: Snapshots from FOCUSFEST!
Richard T. Par
Earlier today, I went to the Universal Studios backlot in North Hollywood to attend FocusFest...a film festival held by Focus Features that showcased the production company's movies such as Obsession, Sense and Sensibility, Nosferatu, EMMA. and Elsinore.
As shown in these photos, I went to FocusFest primarily to watch Obsession (again) as well as Sense and Sensibility. In regards to the latter film, which won't be released till October 16, I wanted to attend the Q&A after the screening. The two main leads, Daisy Edgar-Jones (who was also in 2024's Twisters) and Esmé Creed-Miles—made an appearance to obviously discuss the latest cinematic adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel.
In terms of Obsession, director Curry Barker and Cooper Tomlinson (who played Ian in the film) were supposed to do a Q&A afterwards. Instead, they appeared on stage before the movie started to address the audience. They were accompanied by their close friend Malcolm Kelner...who appeared as the Bartender (if you see Kelner's posts on social media, you'll know why Bartender is capitalized) near the beginning of Obsession.
FocusFest was a blast! If it wasn't for the price of admission (I paid around $106 for my ticket), I'd say that I'll definitely attend this event next year. The main reason being that I want to watch Barker and Tomlinson's next film, Anything but Ghosts (out in theaters nationwide on May 7), at this festival.
Hope y'all are having a nice weekend!

Photos of the Day: Snapshots from NIGHT FRIGHTS LA...
Richard T. Par
A week ago today, I drove down to Gardena Cinema to attend Night Frights LA, which hosted the premiere of a short horror film called Too Tight to Move.
Too Tight to Move was an awesome film! Directed by The Winchester Brothers (Gavin and Tristan...not Sam and Dean from the hit TV series Supernatural), Too Tight to Move was definitely inspired by the runaway success of Obsession—utilizing the same warm but ominous cinematography, twisted sense of humor and bloody climax seen in Curry Barker's hit movie. Also, the main character, Louis (Chris Lucchi), has a bit of an uncanny resemblance to Bear (Michael Johnston) in Obsession.
Not to be overlooked are the terrific performances by Kelsi Davies (as Tanya) and Ricky Michlig (as Gregory) in the Winchesters' film!
Here are a few photos from Night Frights LA, including snapshots of some of Too Tight to Move's set props. In case you're wondering what's the significance behind that severed eyeball, watch Too Tight to Move when it's available online or is shown at another film festival! Have a great weekend.

Another Award for OBSESSION's Breakout Star...
Congratulations to Inde Navarrette for winning IMDb's "Breakout" STARmeter Award for Obsession!
This latest accolade comes about a week after Navarrette and Obsession writer/director Curry Barker returned to Canada and attended the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)...where Obsession had its big screen premiere a year ago this month. It was at TIFF where Focus Features acquired the rights to the movie for around $15 million—and began the process of prepping Obsession for its phenomenal box office run this summer.
Next up for Inde: Her continuing to prepare for her role as Rogue in 2028's X-Men film and looking ahead to the sci-fi thriller The Waffle House Index. Next up for Curry: Continuing post-production on his next movie Anything but Ghosts and looking ahead to his third horror flick, which will be financed by Universal Pictures itself. Happy Hump Day!
