Facebook’s Oculus Rift is getting its first 3D virtual reality feature film in Banshee Chapter, an indie sci-fi horror executive produced by Star Trek‘s Zachary Quinto that’s hitting the next-gen virtual reality platform today – for free.
The low budget frightener, loosely based on H.P. Lovecraft’s From Beyond, tracks a journalist investigating the disappearance of her old college friend and his ties to a secret experimental drug. Silence of the Lambs‘ Ted Levine, Sleepy Hollow‘s Katia Winter and True Blood‘s Michael McMillian star for first time director Blair Erickson in the film produced by Sunchaser Entertainment’s Stephanie Riggs and Before the Door’s Corey Moosa and Sean Akers, and Christian Arnold-Beutel.
Banshee Chapter debuted last December on VOD to modest fanfare. But that was before Facebook bought Oculus Rift in a $2 billion deal, heralding it as the next big thing in social communications and entertainment.

Disrespected by both audiences and the headliners who they're hired to step in for at a moment's notice, Broadway understudies get their own brief moment in the spotlight in The Standbys.
Director Stephanie Riggs's brief, amiable documentary focuses on three subjects, a wisely narrow gaze that affords genuine insight into the aspirations, struggles, and fleeting triumphs and failures of Ben Crawford, Merwin Foard, and Aléna Watters.
From stories about siblings' deaths and sleeping on couches to tales about being snubbed by producers who tend to forget they even exist and stars who'd do anything to avoid ceding the stage to a backup, the film captures the unshakable grip live performing has on these musical theater-lovers, as well as the personal and famil...

When director Stephanie Riggs attended a concert series of Broadway understudies and standbys a few years ago, she was blown away. “Their voices were so powerful, and they were so talented,” recalls Riggs. “And then they would tell these horrific and hilarious stories.”She immediately saw the potential for a film, and set to work on a documentary that would shed light on the unrecognized and unnoticed performers of Broadway. The result is “The Standbys,” which premieres on May 12 at the second annual Tony Awards Film Series. Both humorous and heartbreaking, the documentary follows Merwin Foard, Aléna Watters, and Ben Crawford, three performers who work as understudies, standbys, and swings, as they try to land lead roles on Broadway.For many Broadway hopefuls, working as a standby can be thrilling at first. Watters, who Riggs describes as the documentary’s “ingénue,” earned her first Broadway credit as a temporary standby in “West.

I can't remember a time I went to the Seattle International Film Festival (Siff) press launch and looked over the list of films and saw so many I was interested in seeing. The claim to fame for over the years is to call it the largest and most-highly attended festival in the United States. This is a fact I've often taken issue with as I don't equate quantity with quality. Granted, there has been a large number of quality features to play the fest over the years, including Golden Space Needle (Best Film) winners such as Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985), My Life as a Dog (1987), Trainspotting (1996), Run Lola Run (1999), Whale Rider (2003) and even recent Best Director winner, Michel Hazanavicius's Oss 117: Nest of Spies in 2006. That said, looking over this year's crop of films I see a lot of films I will be doing my absolute best to see.
