INDIEWRAP

With Cut, Atlanta-based filmmaker Malik Salaam delivers a raw, gripping plunge into the city’s after-hours underworld — a place where the promise of reinvention collides with the perils of temptation. Presented by Maverick Entertainment and executive produced by Atlanta legend Big Oomp, the film blends urgent storytelling with a striking visual energy, capturing both the allure and the destruction that await those who step too close to the edge.

With The Premiere, directors Christopher Bouckoms and Sam Pezzullo deliver a brilliantly absurd mockumentary that blurs the line between reality and fiction. Following the misguided attempt to stage a musical adaptation of Scream in the Hamptons, the film combines cringe comedy, eccentric characters, and sharp improvisation to create a hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt satire of ambition and delusion.

At a time when addiction continues to devastate communities across the U.S., filmmaker Brad Alexander turns his lens on a story that is as personal as it is universal. The Threshing Floor is more than just a recovery documentary—it’s a raw, unflinching look at loss, resilience, and the possibility of redemption, told through the journey of Tim Arrigo and those whose lives intersect with his.

There’s a particular kind of strength in films that don’t shout but resonate quietly, and Inheritance is one of them. Directed by Emily Moss Wilson and written by Rachel Noll James, this indie drama places two estranged sisters at the center of a story about grief, family secrets, and the patterns we carry — and sometimes fight to break. What unfolds is not just a narrative about loss, but a layered exploration of connection, memory, and the complicated bonds that shape who we are.
