Hello Everyone,

We thought you could use some holiday entertainment this weekend and chose the coolest videos, filmmakers, and Web TV channels for you to check out.

Our featured film this week is Rough Patch by London-based filmmaker, Tim Orchard. Rough Patch is a suspenseful dark comedy with hints of fantasy and science fiction. Though, if we have to pick one word to describe it, that word would be "bizarre," bizarre in an awesome David Lynch meets Tim Burton kind of way. The film tells the story of a family discovering that their neighbours are evil replicas of themselves. Rough Patch is our holiday pick and is very highly recommended.

This week's filmmaker is the animation artist, director, and producer Antanas Janauskas, who has been presenting his films on our platform for the past 3 years. Born in 1937, Janauskas has been making films since the early 1960s. As a super prolific filmmaker, we think he'll be a great inspiration to the new generation of filmmakers on Film Annex and elsewhere. Don't forget to check out Janauskas' Web TV Channel for a full collection of videos and news about the artist.

Lastly, tune into another great Web TV, this time by the Canada-based production team, The Substream. The Substream - DIY Film Lab TV is the perfect place for filmmakers who want to learn filmmaking online. No need to go to film school anymore folks, you've got all the info you'll need on this channel, from screenwriting to lighting a scene, the Substream team is there for you with their smart tips and extensive knowledge!
