Film Synopsis
A low-level criminal steals an ancient Chinese time-travel device, but he may not survive the demonic consequences of tampering with time. MEGA TIME SQUAD is a wildly entertaining time travel/sci-fi comedy out of New Zealand. A fan favorite on the festival circuit, the film stars Jonny Brugh (What We Do In The Shadows) and was praised by Variety as "fast-paced, determinedly silly, with sharp slangy dialogue," the film blasted out of the gate at this year's Fantasia and is destined to become a cult favorite.

The Man in Room 6 Images and Seed&Spark Campaign: "As a part of the film’s newly launched crowdfunding campaign, Live or Die Productions in association with Middle West Movies has released a new teaser video and promotional stills for the upcoming art-house horror film “The Man in Room 6,” starring Bill Oberst Jr. and Jackie Kelly. This marks the first time Oberst has worked with the director, Trevor Juenger since 2014’s Coyote.
“I feel we have something truly unique to offer the genre,” said Juenger. “It’s exciting to finally find the right role for Oberst. He’s always creepy and captivating, but this character has the potential to be iconic.” Crowdfunding Campaign
The release of this new teaser video comes on the heels of the recent launch of the film’s crowdfunding campaign on Seed&Spark. Seed&Spark allows contributors to fund independent films directly without creative interference from studios.
“It’s essential for a film like this. It gives us opportunities to work outside established formulas that produce stale genre films. Independent films are tough to get off the ground and funded. It’s amazing to have so many viable platforms to connect directly with the fans.”
The campaign is offering memorabilia, early screenings, and for the first week of the campaign, personalized photos that place contributors in a scene from ‘The Man in Room 6’. The teaser trailer can be seen at www.themaninroom6.com
The film is currently in production which means it will take some time before its scheduled release in 2020. Until then, promotional activities like this give some insight about what’s going on 2 behind the scenes.
Contributions can be made through the production’s Seed&Spark page."
Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
