UNDERNEATH is a grassroots, self-financed anthology in the vein of CREEPSHOW and is comprised of five chapters, an epilogue, and several mind-bending vignettes that are all bound together by something unnatural and sinister.

A transitional film at the end of his first decade of filmmaking, James Benning’s Grand Opera introduces a degree of storytelling to his previously more formalist devices. Benning calls the film his “first attempt at writing my own kind of history” and, in a sense, it also serves to write himself into history, acutely measuring his place as a Midwestern experimental filmmaker, then based in Oklahoma, in relationship to the avant-garde scene situated in New York. The film thus features homages to the prominent experimental cinema of the time, including a spoof of Wavelength, as well as cameos from Michael Snow, Hollis Frampton and Yvonne Rainer. Woven with these sequences are other characteristic Benning gambits – a compilation of every house he ever lived in, a preoccupation with the history of Pi, and the looming threat that a building will explode.

UNTITLED AZHAR USMAN PROJECT is a refreshingly honest and ferociously independent standup film by veteran (yet indie and underground) standup comic Azhar Usman, directed by his longtime collaborator, Paul Elia. The one-time co-creator of "Allah Made Me Funny-The Official Muslim Comedy Tour" now finds himself working in Hollywood, inside the proverbial 'Belly of the Beast,' writing for successful TV shows, and even joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But who cares? From thoughtful ruminations on the nature of life and existence itself, to deeply confessional and personal stories, Azhar takes a startling (yet hilarious) look at his own fears, insecurities, and privately held beliefs, while trying to make sense of the crazy world around us. UNTITLED AZHAR USMAN PROJECT is a tour-de-force of spiritual wisdom, philosophical examination, and raw standup comedy, illustrating why Dave Chappelle once remarked: "Azhar is untouchable, he's like a comedian from the future."
