Presence
The acclaimed director challenges his creative boundaries with this clever paranormal narrative shot entirely from the viewpoint of a ghost. When a household featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the lens – representing the ghost – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of conscious of the supernatural presence, and it looks like defensive toward her. But why?

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for greed in Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her criminal husband.
