Ogopogo is said to be an enormous lake monster, which has haunted the dark waters of Lake Okanagan for untold generations. Sightings can be found in folklore and in the modern day, accompanied by a wealth of indigenous tales which have led many to believe that there may truly be a monster in Lake Okanagan.   Cryptozoologists, historians and varied researchers alike have watched Okanagan for decades – what secrets does it still hide? The story is told through expert and witness interviews, historical media and immersive special effects, all set against the backdrop of narration by author and researcher Heather Moser.    I’ve given the Small Town Monsters franchise a miss, if only because I’m generally not a fan of the “Hey, what’s that…

Mickey Hardaway is director Marcellus Cox’s debut, and it has done particularly well at the Las Vegas Black Film Festival. Mickey (Rashad Hunter) is a young black man from California, and not from a part that’s swimming with money. As a little child, he begins to show a passion for art. It turns into a full-fledged problem when he has a grant offer from the California Institute of Art, which his father (David Chattam)…
