For several years now, the niche industry of faith based movies, which are very specifically films geared towards those of the Christian faith, have proven to be quite the moneymakers. More and more prominent talent that previously never take part in a “Christian movie” have found that it isn’t as risky of a move and started popping up here and there in such movies.

So, Faith Based,from director Vincent Masciale and writer and co-star Luke Barnett, take on and satirize the whole cottage industry of these “faith-based” films by showing a duo schemes to get rich quick through producing their own ludicrous Christian full length feature about the first prayer in space.

Take a gander of what they have up their sleeve (including an ensemble cast featuring Jason Alexander, Lance Reddick, and Margaret Cho) with the trailer here, then look for Faith Based to roll out next month Oct. 9th.

While The Feels from Jeneé LaMarque and Lauren Marks is a story about a lesbian bachelorette party with an awkward secret, the trailer for the movie promises a certain universal humanity that everyone can relate to. 

Also, they’ve got a cast of folks whose name you should have already been on the look out for including Constance Wu, Angela Trimbur, Josh Fadem, and Ever Mainard.

If you’re into it from watching the trailer, look for The Feels in limited release on March, 9th.

The sheer ingenuity and creativity that comes out of using cardboard in this movie might be a reason enough to see this movie.

Also, Bill Watterson and Steven Sears’ Dave Made a Maze seems like a pretty fun action adventure comedy that isn’t necessarily meant for kids or families with some of your indie comedy heavyweights Nick Thune, James Urbaniak, Stephanie Allynne, and Scott Krinsky.

See for yourself in the trailer.

Looks like there will be movies worth watch after Star Wars Ep. VII. 

Modern day folk taking after Mark Twain’s beloved characters like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn to be a band of sort of honorable thieves sounds like a pretty enticing flick to us, especially with a trailer like this one. 

That’s why we’re happy to hear Gravitas Ventures have acquired the rights to Aaron and Adam Nee’s Band of Robbers for a limited/VOD release that’s aimed at Jan .15th.

On top of that, the likes Hannibal Buress, Johnny Pemberton, Melissa Benoist, and Matthew Gray Gubler get to join in the fun on here as well.

Gravitas Ventures To Release “Addicted To Fresno” With Judy Greer and Natasha Lyonne This Fall

(via Deadline)

Once called “Fresno”, “Addicted to Fresno” played at SXSW earlier year.

As mentioned before, Judy Greer and Natasha Lyonne play co-dependent sisters trying to cover up an accidental murder, which already sounds like it could be good fun. 

On top of that, Fred Armisen, Aubrey Plaza, Kumail Nanjiani, Jessica St. Clair, Molly Shannon, and Ron Livingston round out the cast and Karey Dornetto (whose written on many of your favorite shows including Portlandia and Arrested Development and South Park) wrote the script. So, you’ll probably want to check it out or, at the very least, be excited for a trailer.

Gravitas Ventures has acquired Addicted to Fresno for a fall release. 

If this fares well, we’ll be curious to see if SXSW’s film line-up gets even more coveted and expanded next year a la Sundance. It wouldn’t be surprising if it happened, especially in regards to comedy since there’s a comedy portion of the festival already that has screened several comedies, both studio and indie.
