This is a really great high concept movie. A group of college friends take a wrong turn and end up on a road that doesn't seem to end. Like ever. A really great premise taken to its best possible conclusion. Loved it.

Mekler Prints - Kirby Mekler Portfolio Photography prints by Kirby Mekler and Ben Mekler. After losing their home in the Eaton wildfire they decided to raise money by selling prints of their photos (mostly travel, film, nature and food).

Launched a Mekler Family Print Shop, all proceeds go towards rebuilding our house. We will close the shop in two weeks so we have time to fill orders before the holidays.

Photos by me in 35mm and 120, by Kirby in 35 and digital.

Love you, share with friends, thanks! www.kirbymekler.com/store

Tweet from Ben Mekler (@benmekler):

THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR. When Maria Bello showed up, people started screaming. Teen behind me threw his shoe at the screen and yelled “where the fuck is Rachel Weisz?!” Lot of walkouts. A little kid started crying, screaming really, “that’s not Evie!”. I threw up

Anyone else get raptured? Been alone up here with God for like two days. He keeps trying to get me to play Jackbox even though I told Him like fifty times that it’s not that fun with two people

Look everyone @benmekler.bsky.social, @chrisamick.bsky.social, and myself want to work on this thing together. Someone help us get this film made animated or not. You know it would be fun.

No amusement as a parent will ever match the time my three year old daughter learned that Pixies is one of my favorite bands, enthusiastically asked to listen to them, and realized the disparity between reality and what she’d imagined

‘It Ends’ Review: The Kids Are Not Alright In Alex Ullom’s Evocative Existential Horror Debut [SXSW] Alexander Ullom's fascinating drama/existential hororr, 'It Ends' about fear, dread and the unknown makes him a instant filmmaker to watch.

It’s a simple yet haunting work that’s well-shot, written, and acted across the board, especially for a first feature. It also gets better as it goes along, finding surprising resonances that get at something truthful about how it is we find meaning in a bleak world 📽️

IT ENDS: Alex Ullom’s existential horror debut about a group of young friends who get trapped on a never-ending road is the discovery of this year’s #SXSW. It marks him as a filmmaker to watch & is a work I still can't stop thinking about 📽️
