Horror and genre cinema fans are set for an unmissable event as Screams By The Sea returns to Bournemouth on 29th March for a single-day celebration of independent horror, sci-fi, and the macabre. Hosted at Pavilion Dance South West, this year’s festival promises an intense lineup of five feature films, a selection of short horrors, industry panels, and an opportunity for aspiring screenwriters to pitch their projects for a chance to land a major production deal.

Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Sheryl Crow, and The Beatles are the subjects of documentary programs that are eligible for this year’s Emmys. Will they be recognized by the TV academy just like they have been by the Recording Academy?

Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever” didn’t win any Grammys, alas, despite its seven nominations including Album of the Year.

"Do you even understand what's happening right now?" Vertical Ent. has revealed an official trailer for an indie comedy titled Suicide for Beginners, marking the feature directorial debut of Craig Thieman. This is arriving on VOD to watch this May. Here's a pitch: "Writing the perfect suicide note isn't easy. Murdering a garage full of people is also pretty hard. But getting your victims to like you while you kill them, that's the really tricky part." Here's what it's actually about: "Insecure and unhinged, Garrett is dead set on murdering the unrequited love of his life, Mia. When he comes face to face with his victim, his awkward incompetence takes over and things quickly spiral out of control as he finds himself on a deranged path to becoming a serial killer." The film stars Wil Daniels, Sara Tomko, Nate Panning, Julia Lehman, Simon Crist, Christian Rozakis, plus Corey Feldman and Sid Haig.
