In the style of found footage thrillers such as [Rec] and Cloverfield, Undocumented is a horror film that follows a small group of documentary filmmakers who set out to chronicle the trials and inequities faced by Mexican illegal immigrants. When they join a group of families crossing the border to record the experience firsthand, their truck is pulled over and detained. What happens next plunges the group into unimaginable horror.

"Directed with style and intensity by first-timer Chris Peckover," Undocumented is "both a highly entertaining thriller and a somewhat shocking horror film, but it’s also a highly insightful and darkly amusing indictment of America’s contradictory policies on illegal immigrants," notes Scott Weinberg at FearNET.

 Beginners, the newest semi-autobiographical film from Director Mike Mills, imaginatively explores the hilarity, confusion, and surprises of love through the evolving consciousness of Oliver (Ewan McGregor). Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna (Melanie Laurent) only months after his father Hal has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father who -- following 44 years of marriage -- came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life. The upheavals of Hal's new honesty, by turns funny and moving, brought father and son closer than they'd ever been able to be. Now Oliver endeavors to love Anna with all the bravery, humor, and hope that his father taught him.

The book Drawings >From the Film Beginners by Mike Mills contains all the drawings which Mike Mills drew, and that Oliver works with in the film. It also includes a new series of drawings: an illustrated History Of Love which includes such chapters as "the first butt to attract", "great lovers in film" and many more. The film is in theaters now and you can win an awesome Beginners prize pack courtesy of GreenCine and Focus Features!
