“I thought if you had an IRL friend you wouldn’t do it.” Picturehouse has unveiled the full official trailer for an acclaimed indie dark comedy film titled Our Hero, Balthazar, made by filmmaker Oscar Boyson as his feature debut after many other short films.

This will open in limited US theaters at the end of this month. // Continue Reading ›
