Just as Skinford: Death Sentence was shot simply as Skinford in 2017, Skinford 2: The Curse began life in Australia under the less sensational title Skinford: Chapter Two in 2018. Enter Black Mandala, who picked them up, dusted them off and gave them a new title for release outside their home country.
For those who haven’t seen the first film, Skinford 2: The Curse opens with a recap via footage from it, as well as various newspaper clippings under the credits. That gives way to Jimmy “Skinny” Skinford trying to get a place where he and Zophia can lie low after the events of the first film.

With oodles of gore, plenty of violence and adrenaline-pumping action, this thrilling feature directed by Nik Kacevski is out now on Digital Platforms from Reel 2 Reel Films.
Synopsis:
James ‘Skinny’ Skinford (Joshua Brennan) had a simple plan: steal and flip a mysterious truck to make a quick buck and save his ailing father. However, as fate would have it, things take a horrifying turn and Skinny finds himself in serious trouble… While being forcibly made to dig his own grave, he accidentally stumbles upon the burial ground of a woman who had been buried alive and to his astonishment, she possesses the extraordinary ability to bestow immortality upon others.
Yet, this seemingly miraculous gift comes with a devastating consequence. Being close to her is akin to a death sentence, and Skinny’s perception...

Skinford was shot and released in its native Australia and apparently nowhere else, in 2017. A sequel, Skinford: Chapter Two followed in 2018. So, when I saw the title Skinford: Death Sentence pop up on my radar I naturally enough thought it was a third film in the franchise.
Then I noticed the plot and crew credits were the same as the original film with just a couple of differences in the cast. A quick check of the copyright date confirmed this is not a new film. As near as I can guess new sales agent/distributor Black Mandala saw its potential as a cult film and picked it up; they must have some faith in it as IMDb has an entry for Skinford 2: The Curse which bears a...

The world of Australian short film Soulmate could be set to expand after being selected to premiere globally on streaming platform Film Shortage.
The sci-fi thriller joins hand-picked shorts from across the world on the online film site, which is free to access.
It comes after a premiere at this year’s Flickerfest 2021, where it was awarded Best Cinematography.
Filmed across three days against the backdrop of a Bulgarian winter, Soulmate stars newcomer Holly May Lewis as Mila, a 13-year-old who plays a deadly game of cat and mouse in a world where overpopulation has caused a desperate law that forces citizens to kill their designated ‘Soulmate’.
The film was written and directed by Nik Kacevski as a proof-of-concept for an episodic show, with Christopher Seeto serving as producer.
Kacevski tells If he is ready to explore the concept further, describing the short film as “a trigger” for the story’s potential progression.

Producer Toby Gibson has launched a crowd-funding campaign to raise money for a low-budget horror film written by Everett DeRoche (Razorback, Patrick, Razorback, Long Weekend), entitled Lord of the Crows.
Since the official launch on April 21, the project has raised almost 10 percent of its $24,000 goal.
“In the face of a tough economic climate and with the growing success of low-budget horror projects like Insidious and Paranormal Activity, we are seeing a rise in the number of independent filmmakers adopting new and creative online fund raising techniques to bring their low budget projects to the big screen,” said Gibson.
The purpose of the crowd-funding campaign is to raise funds for a live action short/trailer directed by Nick Kacevski and starring Cariba Heine and Rob Flanagan. The short will then be used by Midnight Snack Productions to attract potential partners.
