“Sinner Supper Club” delivers exactly what it promises. [SXSW]
The logline for Sinner Supper Club gives a rough idea for the movie. It’s “an improvised gay mumblecore ghost story shot on an iPhone in six days,” and I think that prepares audiences for exactly what they’re getting themselves into…. Read More ›
