Alex Grybauskas’s multi award-winning short is a new take on the classic ‘deal with the Devil’ premise, exposing the absurd human habit of rationalising evil in order to get the things we want.
On the floor of a bar restroom, a man on his deathbed is met by Danny Pickler: a former classmate of his … who died twenty-six years ago. On the brink of damnation, he is offered a deal that could save his life – but in the process may destroy his humanity.
In the latest instalment of their Honest series, Screen Junkies ask an actual doctor to assess exactly how hard John McClane would have died in real life.
When 20th century Fox commissioned videographer Casey Neistat to create a motivational ad campaign promoting The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, he proposed to spend the entire 25,000 budget on the victims of the recent Haiyan typhoon in the Phillipines.
