REVIEW – Love Struck Sick BY DON TJERNAGEL
Written and directed by Don Tjernagel, ‘Love Struck Sick’ is a comedy drama that stars Clint Boevers, Angelle Waltz, Joe Brown, Jordan Abbe and Tjernagel himself.

REVIEW – HAPPY BY DON TJERNAGEL
Written and directed by Don Tjernagel, Happy’s is a 2021 drama that stars Caleb DeGraw, Clint Boevers, Gus Gustafson and others. Don Tjernagel is a beast, directing one film after another with a pace that even overtakes the frequency with which Bruce Willis puts out low budget action thrillers. Unlike Willis’s outings, each Tjernagel film is crafted delicately.

REVIEW – RED, SIN & TOM DIRECTED BY Don Tjernagel
We took a look at Don Tjernagel's work. With RED, SIN and TOM, Don got inspired by the new French wave cinema that was born in the 50s and 60s. It is shocking how many films Don Tjernagel has put out and continues to do so, unabated, year after year. An unstoppable creative machine, Tjernagel’s each new film is arguably better and weirder than his last.

Written and directed by Don Tjernagel, Singles (2022) is the story of a recently separated man named Corey who is looking for a new lease on life.

REVIEW – ONE MORE DREAM DIRECTED BY RICKY BURCHELL
Facing your fear is terrifying no matter your age, but the experience is heightened when you’re an adolescent. Teenhood is a time of changes, and changes are scary.

This is the main theme of One More Dream, the Ricky Burchell-directed 2022 coming-of-age drama that’s now streaming on Amazon Prime.
REVIEW – HAIRY DIRECTED BY Maximillian Aguiar
Filmmaker, comedian and editor Maximillian Aguiar has had a wild run since stepping into this industry a while back. Starting his career with short skits and videos, Aguiar directed the feature ‘The Doors Between Us’ in 2019. Met with critical scorn, Aguiar would go on to make another feature ‘Veneer’ before developing his latest feature ‘Hairy’.
