Short Film Reviews: "Freedom"
Fearless: It's only appropriate to start this list with a film whose title could easily describe those in Ukraine fighting to protect their country. The word is also used by Daniel (Wes McGee) to describe Margret Mason (Fionnula Flanagan), an aging former actress who meets Daniel as he's preparing to end his own life. Margret invites the man to her home for a chat, and an unlikely friendship begins. Fearless gets off to a slow but steady start that segues into a charmingly poignant story. While Margret and Daniel meet by complete chance, they quickly forge a bond as it becomes clear they have quite a bit in common.

Short Film Reviews: Plural Titles
Cutting Moments: If you're squeamish of blood or triggered by depictions of self-harm, you should proceed with caution while watching the first movie on this list. One of three short films directed by Douglas Buck as part of his 2003 anthology Family Portraits: A Trilogy of America, Cutting Moments is a disturbing look at a suburban family coming undone in the grisliest way imaginable. With her marriage long dead and her family falling apart, Sarah (Nica Ray) tries everything she can to keep it all together. But when that fails, she's driven to do the unthinkable. While infamous for being a gruesome flick whose special effects were supervised by horror icon Tom Savini, Cutting Moments is more than just blood and guts. In fact, the gore is saved for the end and serves to underscore the main horror of the film: the deterioration of Sarah's family and the disturbing subtext of their dysfunction.
