How a First-Time Filmmaker Found Her Muse, Best Friend, and Rising TikTok Star in the Middle of Nowhere
SUNDANCE: January 23, 2025 — Years ago, Kate Beecroft went looking for a story. She found Tabatha and Porshia Zimiga, “some real cowgirl sh*t,” and what would become the remarkable film “East of Wall.”
When the first audience to see Kate Beecroft’s feature directorial debut, “East of Wall,” files into its Friday morning premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, they won’t be the only ones seeing it for the first time. Its own stars, including Tabatha Zimiga and her daughter Porshia Zimiga, have yet to view the film. After all, they lived it, sort of.

Canvas Review from Creepy Bonfire
Canvas, directed by Melora Donoghue and Kimberly Stuckwisch, hit the screen at the Chattanooga Film Festival, leaving horror fans intrigued and captivated. This film dives deep into the tumultuous relationship between two sisters, brought together after years of estrangement. Raised to believe that true artistry stems from suffering, they confront their past and the influence of their tyrannical father.
The plot centers around two sisters who have been pitted against each other since childhood. Reunited after years apart, one sister learns the value of authenticity while the other grapples with regret. Their story is a complex dance of reconciliation and rivalry, all under the shadow of their father’s oppressive expectations.

Canvas Review from Morbidly Beautiful
Two young sisters, Eve and Marissa, are painting a landscape before a breathtaking waterfall. Their domineering father lords over them, mercilessly ridiculing Marissa for her lackluster, uninspired brush strokes.
He forces Eve to set fire to Marissa’s canvas, insisting “the seed of creativity is adversity.”
Flash forward many years, and adult Marissa (Bridget Regan), now a struggling professional artist, is elegant and poised but cold and disillusioned by life. Marissa expresses anger that Eve (Joanne Kelly) inherited her father’s entire estate after his passing, including 80 million dollars of coveted art that she just announced she intends to donate to a local art gallery owned by the fiancée of her treasured childhood friend, Cormack (Alain Uy).

Pass The Remote: ‘Shift,’ ‘Canvas,’ ‘Lousy Carter,’ ‘The Fox,’ Agnés Varda Films
By RANDY MYERS| Correspondent – Bay City News
Here’s good news for those unable to attend this year’s Silicon Valley’s Cinequest Film & Creativity Festival. Cinejoy, the fest’s streaming arm underway through March 31, is packed with splashy titles.
This week, we recommend a few Cinejoy flicks, as well as cover Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive’s exciting Viva Varda series; a one-night-only screening of the acerbic comedy “Lousy Carter” at the Roxie in San Francisco; and a not-to-miss streaming find, “The Fox.”
Want another thrill? The Gaslight”-like “Canvas” from directors Melora Donoghue and Kimberly Stuckwisch gets the heart pounding. Bridget Regan certainly makes a fine villain, as an artistically challenged New York painter who returns home to prey on her much more talented, agoraphobic sister (Joanne Kelly). “Canvas,” no paint-by-numbers dysfunctional family thriller, has numerous good performances.

By RANDY MYERS | Correspondent – The Mercury News
Cinequest serves up world premieres (66 of ‘em!) in an impressive 217-film program program that’s poised to make major cinematic waves in Silicon Valley March 6-17.
The festival’s theme this year is “Uplift.”
“Canvas” (from Low Road Films)
Bereft of legit artistic talent, New Yorker Marissa (Bridget Regan) slithers her way back to her hometown where she makes the reclusive life of her eccentric but brilliant painter sister Eve (Joanne Kelly) absolute hell. What’s driving her to get addled sis committed? Perhaps dead dad’s pricey art collection might figure in. Directors Melora Donoghue – who also cowrote the sleek screenplay – and Kimberly Stuckwisch turn up the gaslight to extra high for this engrossing, finely tuned Gothic-lite thriller. It receives a world premiere.
Screenings:
7:15 p.m. March 15 at California Theatre, San Jose;
9:30 p.m. March 17 at Hammer Theatre Center, San Jose.
