Ry Levey’s (Out in the Ring) new documentary, Boutique, had its world premiere at Pigeon Shrine Frightfest in London yesterday. We are pleased to be the first to share with you the official trailer for the film.    We’ve known for a while that mainstream studios are considering or are already actively phasing out physical media, trying to force you into subscribing to every streaming platform out there in hopes that you catch your favorite films in their loan windows at the same time that the mood hits you right.

The ritual of Catholic confession has never felt quite right to me; to each their own, but the idea that you can simply say some words that apparently mean you repent for some sins and that gets you into your idea of heaven, seems a little too convenient for those who commit acts that render apologies almost meaningless. I’ve no doubt some people do regret terrible things they’ve done, but I expect that a healthy number do not, and do not care who they hurt or how often, since it makes no different to their current existence or perceived future.
