The Viking Society is recruiting volunteers for the first manned mission to Mars. The goal is to form a B-team that will mirror them here on Earth, finding solutions for the interpersonal problems happening up in space. High-school gym teacher David seizes this opportunity to revive his dream of becoming an astronaut and making a difference. VIKING is beautifully absurd, falling somewhere between high-concept comedy and a sci-fi allegory about the gap between our dreams and reality.

The lushly shot, warmhearted winner of the Slamdance 2022 Grand Jury Prize for Best Narrative explores family bonds through the quarter-life lens of a remarkable protagonist. In this character-driven dramedy from writer-director duo Joshua Pikovsky & Jordan Tetewsky, we meet compassionate townie Hannah (musician Hannah Lee Thompson, "Best Performance Award, Slamdance 2022")—who lives a content, selfless life with her aging father in rural Massachusetts—as she works odd jobs to keep herself busy and provide for her loved ones. To her visiting older brother, she's just wasting her time.
"While the narrative's modesty is charming, there is a hidden subtlety and depth to this movie that makes it stand out from a lot of other festival fare" (Slug Mag).

92% Rotten Tomatoes (26 reviews, as of 4/11/23)
Internationally acclaimed at Venice, Berlin, SXSW and beyond, writer-director Teemu Nikki’s darkly humorous Finnish romance becomes a cinematically unusual action-thriller, empathetically shot from the shallow-focus perspective of a character (and real-life actor) who is blind and unable to walk. The brightest moments in movie lover Jaakko's day are shared on the phone with Sirpa, the woman he loves even though they've never met in person. When Sirpa gets difficult news, Jaako decides he must go to her immediately, but will need the help of kind strangers between home and her... what could go wrong?
The award-winning film stars Petri Poikolainen, Marjaana Maijala, Samuli Jaskio, Hannamaija Nikander, Matti Onnismaa and Rami Rusinen. The film was written, directed and produced by Teemu Nikki, with Jani Pösö also producing.

In 1980, Lustig found himself at the center of a storm of controversy when he made the grim, gory and disturbing slasher sleaze splatter landmark "Maniac," which boasts an incredibly intense performance by the legendary character actor Joe Spinell as a vicious depraved psychopath and plenty of hideously graphic and gruesome make-up effects by genre icon Tom Savini. In 1982, Lustig followed up "Maniac" with the tough, gritty and exciting New York urban revenge opus "Vigilante." In 1988, he delivered another winner with the terrific "Maniac Cop," a violent horror action flick about an undead New York police officer on a killing spree which was the first of several cinematic collaborations with fellow maverick independent filmmaker Larry Cohen.
Lustig followed up with the 1989 stirring action item "Hit List" and the suspenseful serial killer thriller "Relentless," starring Judd Nelson and Robert Loggia. In 1990, Lustig made the favorite of his films, “Maniac Cop 2,” which many consider superior to the popular original. Lustig's last film as a director to date was the nifty and enjoyable 1996 fright flick "Uncle Sam." Recently Lustig produced the well-received remake of “Maniac” starring Elijah Wood, and is now producing the reboot of “Maniac Cop.”
Since 1997, William Lustig went on to initially produce DVDs for Anchor Bay and now currently runs the outstanding home entertainment label Blue Underground, which restores and re-releases popular and little seen cult movies and other grindhouse horror, thriller, action, and western films.
Starring Lea Thompson, Raymond Cruz, Sam Hennings, Brittany Ishibashi, Molly Brink, Richard Gleason, Jossara Jinaro, Damien Leake, Albie Selznick, Beth Skipp, Paul Swetland, David Fofi, J. Bradford Pagano, and Reid Collums.

Mills is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a faculty fellow at Northwestern University’s McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science where he co-directs the Institute on Manufacturing Science and Innovation. He is also a strategic partner with Montrose Lane, an energy-tech fund focused on software.
His new book, The Cloud Revolution: How the Convergence of New Technologies Will Unleash the Next Economic Boom and a Roaring 2020s, has risen to #1 in Amazon’s business planning and forecasting rankings. In the book, Mills presents a convincing vision of a coming era of economic prosperity fueled by today’s radical advances in technology, data, and the Cloud. He explains how digital acceleration is changing the value of the physical economy and lays out a common-sense argument for optimism in our ability to grow and innovate, drawing comparisons with the tech revolution that drove the economic expansion of the 20th century and the widespread adoption of telephony, cars, power plants, and plastics.
Mills’ previous books include Digital Cathedrals: The Information Infrastructure Era, and Work In The Age Of Robots, as well as The Bottomless, co-authored with Peter Huber, about which Bill Gates said: “This is the only book I’ve ever seen that really explains energy.”
Mills cofounded Digital Power Capital, which invested in emerging technologies. He has been a technology advisor for Bank of America Securities, and was a director for a preeminent engineering firm that designed power systems for global datacenters. He has testified numerous times before Congress on energy and technology matters.
Early in his career, Mills worked in the White House Science Office under President Reagan and provided science and technology policy counsel to numerous private-sector firms, the Department of Energy, and U.S. research laboratories. Prior to that, Mills was an experimental physicist and development engineer in microprocessors and fiber optics, earning several patents for his work.
Mills holds a degree in physics from Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada.

Nikki Erlick is a journalist and travel writer whose work has appeared online with New York Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, Newsweek, Cosmopolitan, Indagare Travel, The Huffington Post, and Vox.
Erlick’s eagerly anticipated debut novel, The Measure, will be published by HarperCollins in June 2022. Equally charming and thought-provoking, The Measure explores a philosophical question – “what if everybody on earth knew exactly how long they had left to live?” – with compassion and pragmatism, examining how the implications might trickle down into every area of modern life.
Of her inspiration for writing The Measure, Erlick says: “During this past year of tremendous pain and upheaval, I found myself reflecting on the ways in which we measure our own lives and success and happiness, the way we measure the value of others, and the way we measure a society as a whole. All of these thoughts poured into this story of a world that so closely resembles ours—but with one powerful, poignant twist. As someone who has always turned to literature for comfort and guidance, I am in awe of so many authors whose works have inspired such deep empathy within me, and my greatest wish is that this story might accomplish the same.”
