Exclusive audio tapes capture some of the most fascinating and frightening close encounters ever reported. And despite the decades elapsed since these incidents, well-preserved evidence puts modern forensic technologies to task, as investigators now seek conclusive proof of extraterrestrial claims and contacts.

Short-Film Reviews: “While Mortals Sleep,” “Huella,” and “Kitchen Sink” (Sundance Film Festival)
While Mortals Sleep In writer/director Alex Fofonoff’s brilliant short While Mortals Sleep, Susan (Carie Kawa) is a cold case novelist who is going through a difficult patch so bad that she is rather reluctantly getting away from it all for a while at the vacation home of some friends. She spies a man named Eddy (Will Brill) ostensibly repairing a problem with black gunk who claims he is taking care of the property along with a woman named Abby (Grace Morrison). Abby asks the hesitant Susan to join her for tea, and things quickly get increasingly peculiar because of a startling sound before going full-on outré. Fofonoff packs his short with one mind-bending surprise after another in a story that blends a few different horror subgenres. The three leads are all superb, and excellent, startling visual effects and sound design combine to create an unsettling atmosphere and an unnerving slice of cinema that lingers long after the closing credits. Huella
