Got to see this at the Woodstock Film Festival. Highly recommend it, it’s like a coming of age horror film.

[Bloody Disgusting @BDisgusting]

Body horror meets Lord of the Flies in THE PLAGUE starring Joel Edgerton, releasing in select theaters Christmas Eve.

"At an all-boys water polo camp, a socially anxious twelve-year-old is pulled into a cruel tradition targeting an outcast with an illness they call The Plague."

@letterboxd One of these things is not like the other…

@_microbudgetpod It’s been a year of submitting my first microbudget narrative feature to film festivals. We had an amazing world premiere in October!
Now we are waiting for more. 2026 will be he year of the distribution journey.

[Cory Thibert @corytbear]

@_microbudgetpod The film festival notification waiting game is such a hard part of the journey!
This is a nice reminder

[Cory Thibert @corytbear]

@_microbudgetpod also most libraries give you access to Kanopy and Hoopla - free streaming services with great movies.

Mildlife is coming to @woodstockfilm in a week!

We can’t wait for our world premiere, and as Tony puts it - we will take it personally if you don’t show up.

[Cory Thibert @corytbear]

The feeling when your filmmaking hero @MarkDuplass is speaking on a panel at the exact same time your feature film Mildlife is screening.

[Cory Thibert @corytbear]

My first narrative feature film Mildlife is complete! We have wrapped post production.

Which is an amazing feeling.

But now comes the festival submissions, marketing material and distribution plans. The area I have the least experience in.

I can’t wait to share this film!

[Cory Thibert @corytbear]

@jamonbread Some underrated ones you might not have seen.

[Cory Thibert @corytbear]
