The Riders
Director: Jahmil X.T. Qubeka // Writer: Susie Brooks-Smith
South African filmmaker Jahmil X.T. Qubeka made headlines in 2013 when his sophomore film Of Good Report was banned shortly before it was set to premiere at the Durban International Film Festival due to sensitive subject matter involving a high school teacher carrying on a sexually charged affair with one of his female students (thankfully, it was programmed and played at Tiff). An homage to film noir, Qubeka’s moody, psychologically inclined thriller announced the filmmaker as an intriguing talent, and though Report is still sadly without Us distribution, we’re excited to see he’s working on a UK production, The Riders, with filming to take place in London and Croatia. The film tells the tale of a man searching across Europe for his missing wife with his child in tow.
Cast: Liam McIntyre, Pixie Davies, Alison Carroll

Amsterdam Heavy
Stars: Rik Sinkeldam, Alison Carroll, Vincent van Ommen, Horace Cohen, Galyna Kyyashko, Michael Madsen | Written and Directed by Michael Wright
Hard man and gangster Jd (Sinkeldam), is kidnapped and drugged by Thai hoods who want him to spill the beans on Amsterdam crime boss Gunther. Escaping, Jd manages to ship himself – in a container marked “Amsterdam Heavy” no less – back home. Arriving shirtless and with his memory completely in tatters thanks to the drugs, Jd goes on a one-man rampage across the city. After calling the phone number mysteriously etched into his arm in blood, Jd hooks up with exotic dancer Monique (Carroll) who isn’t all that she seems. As his memory slowly returns, and with a little help from Monique, Jd comes to realise he is actually an undercover agent who has been betrayed by both the gangster he worked for and his CIA bosses that placed him undercover.

Now, before you write this off as another great sounding scifi flick that will more than likely not see the light of day, know that Rise of Exile is quickly signing a pretty cool cast including Lost's Naveen Andrews and Lara Croft model Alison Carroll. Also, former CBS News producer Jennifer Niejadlik just signed on as an actress and co-producer for a planned trilogy. Now, onto what it's actually about - which sounds rad.
Synopsis:
In the 23rd Century Ad, a brief war is waged between an excommunicated geneticist and a world-spanning, sentient computer system of his own design. He creates a genetically-engineered race of humans to fight in his failed attempt, and upon his defeat his creations are hunted down and virtually eliminated. This gives rise to their common name, "Exiles."
One unborn Exile, however, is saved by one of her own and raised in secret. The Exile,...
