At the end of this year, we will be ending our fiscal sponsorship arrangement with Fractured Atlas for all fundraising on Dismissal Time. But we still need as much support as possible to cover film festival expenses and our push for more public screenings in 2023. If you would like to make a tax deductible donation before the end of December, we would really appreciate it! https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/dismissal-time-short-film

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: DEEP DIVE – SCREAM 2 (1997)
It’s Black Friday. You know what that means. Unfinished Business TELEVISION takes a DEEP DIVE into a popular ‘90s horror franchise with Wes Craven’s SCREAM 2. Released one year after the surprise success of its predecessor, this college-set continuation was such a top-secret production that the internet leaked the script! As we share our theatrical experiences when it came out, we ask if it still holds up today and where it stacks among the Scream series. Learn all there is to know and SUBSCRIBE!

Remember the virtual reality craze of the ‘90s? Unfinished Business TELEVISION certainly does as we DEEP DIVE into the 1993 sci-fi thriller GHOST IN THE MACHINE. For a Lawnmower Man cash-in that was supposed to have eye-popping special effects and Freddy Krueger-like scares, why is it that the hip-hop music and the hot babysitter are the only things that stand out?!
