Shifty (2008)

Before Riz Ahmed was taking names and stealing hearts in Rogue OneThe Night Of, and Girls, he was wowing crowds in his debut feature film, Shifty. Ahmed stars as the eponymous Shifty, a London crack dealer who sees his life turn upside down when his best friend returns home, a desperate customer stalks him, and his family prepares to leave him behind forever. While he tries to avoid being set up by a rival drug dealer and meet the same violent fate as so many in his profession, he must confront the demons that have haunted him for years and face what may lie ahead.

I Think You’re Totally Wrong: A Quarrel (2014)

Is there anything more James Franco than James Franco documenting James Franco having an argument about a James Franco movie? If you look deep inside yourself, you’ll find the answer is a resounding “no”. This award-winning film chronicles Franco’s argument with collaborators David Shields and Caleb Powell about what can and cannot be kept in the film and just what sacrifices each member of the team is willing to make for the film. It’s a debate about life, art, and everything else – and it’s actually pretty poignant.

Riviera: Season 1 *Sundance Now Original

Julia Stiles makes a triumphant return to the small screen in this brand new Sundance Now Original series, and she’s not holding back. Georgina (Stiles) has always been something of a gold-digger, but when her billionaire husband is killed in a yacht explosion, she’s forced to pick up the pieces of corruption he left behind. A wonderful subversion of a storyline usually led by a man, Riviera sees Georgina do whatever it takes to protect herself and her family.
