MADDIE’S SECRET is having its New York premiere at ❤️‍🔥New Directors /New Films 2026❤️‍🔥. What a dream! I’ll see you there: filmlinc.org/new-directors-n…
- MADDIE'S SECRET | New York Premiere John Early’s first feature, starring the director, in drag, as a bulimic food influencer, is bracingly comic and wrenchingly tender—a Sirkian melodrama from the age of short-form video.

Hit the road without leaving your couch. These films take you on journeys real, surreal, and everything in between. No map, no rules, no fixed address — just the cinema of the open road. Catch these and more, now on Fandor.

The 2025 Film Independent Spirit Awards saw the TV glow and they liked what they saw. Jane Schoenbrun’s downcast horror tone poem that is also a trans allegory ties with Sean Baker’s ‘Anora’ for most nominations. vulture.com/article/film-ind…
